Former Minister of Health Ivan Uhliarik allowed the company Sanaplasma, despite the disagreement of the experts, the export of blood plasma abroad. According to the director of National Transfusion Service it is a dangerous precedent and if Sanaplasma takes our donor base, the sufficiency of blood reserves in Slovakia will be threatened. According to Uhliarik the private company fulfilled all necessary conditions, and thus he could not refuse its request. Ministry of Health, according to him, issued the permission in accordance with the law.
