Over 40 Muslim COVID-19 patients who recovered, ready to donate plasma in Gujarat
Recently the Union government allowed Gujarat health authorities to use on an experimental basis the plasma transfusion therapy which aims to boost the immunity of critical patients.
COVID-19: Getting donors onboard for plasma therapy challenging, say officials
Since all of them were asymptomatic and in non-critical stage, they were kept at this Covid centre, set up in the hostel premises of Ebrahim Bawany Industrial Training Institute on Ajwa road.
"With intensive care and quality food provided by authorities, they finally recovered," Goplani added.
"Since the plasma of their blood now carries antibodies for coronavirus, we asked them to donate their plasma so that lives of other patients can be saved," he said.
While leaving, more than 40 of them said they were ready to donate plasma.
IAS officer Vinod Rao, who is in-charge of Vadodara COVID-19 operation, said doctors, officials and community leaders persuaded these patients to donate their blood so that plasma can be extracted.
"I am glad to know that they have agreed to become plasma donors. Plasma of these 40-odd patients will be useful in saving lives of 100 others," said Rao.
