- (1888PressRelease) May 12, 2020 - Fullerton, CA, USA – GCAM, Inc. (GCAM) is excited to announce that GCAM along with our parent company, GC Pharma, have joined The CoVig-19 Plasma Alliance. The alliance is an unprecedented non-profit collaboration of the world’s leading plasma companies focused on accelerating the development of a potential treatment for the Coronavirus (Covid-19). The first phase of the Alliance is the collection of plasma at licensed plasma collection centers across the U.S. During May 2020 GCAM begin collecting convalescent plasma at target centers nationwide. Convalescent plasma is collected from healthy individuals who have made a full recovery from COVID-19 and are symptom free for 28 days.

The success of this programming along with the accelerated development and distribution of a potential treatment relies on the participation of survivors of COVID-19. We need your help to get the word out and are working diligently with our partners to make sure we succeed.
