Because Iraqis who are sick want to buy plasma to help themselves. The reason for this behavior is that Iraqi hospitals do not have enough supplies and ventilators to support their efforts to help patients, so they can only try to take plasma that cures patients during the recovery period, which is seen as a hope for the Iraqi people who are short of medication.
But this approach is highly undesirable, because the plasma circulating on the black market has no sanitary safeguards. You have no way of knowing whether it contains other viruses such as HIV, and there is no way to manage this plasma once it arrives, which is likely to lead to deterioration or the growth of other bacteria, and ultimately lead to the continual deterioration of the epidemic in Iraq, and the plasma that these patients have spent so much money to buy is not at all useful.
Today's epidemic in Iraq continues to deteriorate, which is why there are so many cases of selling plasma from recovering cured patients, but its risk makes the local health bureau very worried, so the Iraqi Ministry of Health must crack down on this phenomenon.
The reason the Iraqi outbreak is so serious is because the government has had problems with outbreak planning and has mishandled those who have been diagnosed. It has now become one of the worst-hit regions in the Middle East, with the number of new cases per day remaining at more than 2,000, and the cumulative number of cases in the country exceeding 50,000, with more than 2,000 deaths.
The Iraqi healthcare system is under heavy pressure from the epidemic. Because those hospitals designated to receive treatment, beds have been serious, to celebrate the hospital is overcrowded, basic, so the Ministry of Health had to try to take to cure the patient's recovery plasma to the treatment method. And this next directly let those who lack of medical treatment of the public to this plasma as a life-saving straw, at the expense of chemically heavy money to buy. Today, a bag of plasma can fetch as much as two thousand dollars on the black market. This is really very sad, now is regarded as the new crown of the drug Ridgeline is only 390 dollars per bottle, a course of treatment only need to spend 6 bottles, the total cost is only 2000 dollars, but now can not be proved whether the effect of a bag of plasma has been in the black market speculation to 2000 dollars, which is really a drug scarcity brought about by the harm.
