Who buys it? Is it the government or, say, private concerns who then sell it on to health care providers? I think this is why I found it odd, because here it would be the NHS and the NHS don't really function as a business.
Private labs collect and buy it, they sell it to hospitals and the hospitals sell it to the patients.
My son had a rare disease (Kawasaki disease) and had to have IV gamma globulin treatments and thankfully I had insurance because that stuff cost a fortune! I hate our health care system.
Makes sense. It's just odd to my ears because I'm not used to healthcare being commercial. The NHS has its problems too, by the way. For instance, the treatment you get may depend on how much money your strategic health authority has. The call it a postcode lottery. Not everybody has the same treatment made available to them despite us all paying the same percentage of our wages.
How should I make some extra cash?

It is private labs and sometimes hospitals buy it. It is either for private lab epirements or for patients.
