The challenge with blood supply

Around the world, the blood supply is struggling to keep up. There are not enough donors, and demand is rising from patients with conditions like sickle cell anemia. This is not just a supply problem. Behind every shortage are real lives waiting for vital treatments that depend on safe, steady access to blood.

Meeting this growing need requires a new approach. At Wasna, we are working to grow red blood cells in controlled environments, creating a stable and safe alternative to traditional donations. By removing the limits of donor-based supply, we aim to make life-saving treatments more accessible, more reliable, and more resilient worldwide.
