The Baxter International factory in Marion, N.C., is one of the largest suppliers of IV fluids in the country, and its closure could strain the supply of vital health care products.
Dr. Alison Haddock emphasizes that IV fluids are used frequently in hospitals for various patients, stating it's rare for anyone in emergency care not to require IV fluids in their treatment.
Baxter is expediting efforts to restore the factory's operations, with plans to increase workforce from 500 to potentially over 1,000 as they collaborate with government agencies.
The FDA is actively partnering with Baxter and local governments to facilitate the recovery and operational restart of the Marion facility that was hit hard by the storm.
