500 Recovered Patients From Dharavi To Give Plasma

Mumbai’s Dharavi, once a COVID-19 hotspot, soon tackled coronavirus effectively and has now taken the lead in plasma donation as well to fight the pandemic.

 A primary screening was organized in the densely populated slum for an upcoming plasma donation camp in the area where 25 per cent of recovered patients have registered as donors and many have already donated. In young people the plasma is effective because of the presence of anti-bodies and lack of co-morbidities.
