GRMC Management to start #plasma therapy treatment soon at Jaya Arogya Hospital, #Gwalior. Dean Dr. S.N. Iyengar has asked for information on preparation from Blood Bank in-charge. Furthermore, Blood Bank in-charge has sent the demand of #Antibody Titer kit to hospital management which is used to check the power of plasma.
Convalescent plasma therapy is an experimental #treatment that some doctors are using for people with severe #coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).

No drug has been proved to be safe and effective for treating COVID-19. The #Health Ministry hasn’t approved any drugs specifically to treat people with COVID-19.

But, people who’ve recovered from COVID-19 have #antibodies — proteins the body uses to fight off infections — to the disease in their blood. The #blood from people who’ve recovered is called #convalescent plasma. Plasma is the liquid portion of the blood.

Researchers hope that convalescent plasma can be given to people with severe #COVID19 to boost their ability to fight the virus. It also might help keep people who are moderately ill from becoming more ill and experiencing COVID-19 #complications.

If you’ve had COVID-19 and recovered from it, consider donating blood through your local #donation center. #GwaliorFightsCorona #GwaliorDevelopment
