New Delhi: Plasma Bank: Even though the vaccine for coronavirus infection has not come out yet, due to the good recovery rate in India, thousands of people have been cured after defeating the disease. The plasma of such cured people is doing life work for other patients in this disease. The country’s first plasma bank opened on Thursday at the Institute of Liver and Biliary Sciences (ILBS) Hospital in Delhi. However, the hospital has strict conditions for plasma donation. Please tell that only healthy people between the age of 18 to 60 years who have recovered 14 days before corona will be able to donate plasma.
