Rotary Club: Donate and Collect Plasma for Coronavirus patients in Indore for free from the Database of Madhya Pradesh

With the second wave of corona taking over almost every household, the pandemic is challenging every life around the city and country. The few people who have fought and recovered from the deadly virus develop the necessary antibodies to fight it, at least for a while.

Those who are unable to develop the antibodies tend to struggle to survive. A way to help others fight the virus is to transfer some of these antibodies to the struggling patient.

With many such patients seeking plasma with the necessary antibodies, we all come across such message requests. Looking at this, coordinator of Rotary Club Ghanshyam Singh wondered, “Why not set up a plasma database to help those infected by coronavirus...”

Soon, the initiative was adopted and supported by 750 members of the club in district 3040.

Singh said that this facility is of great service in helping corona infected people with complications, as plasma taken from patients who have recovered from infection can help fight complications brought about by this virus. “Any patient 21 days after recovering from Covid infection can donate plasma,” he said.

“Till now, we have ensured providing the plasma to over 35 people in the district and still, we receive 2 such requirements every day,” Singh said.

Some common queries from people answered by Singh

Ques: What is Convalescent Plasma?

Convalescent plasma is the liquid part of blood that is collected from patients who have recovered from an infection. Antibodies present in convalescent plasma are proteins that might help fight the infection.

Ques: I recently recovered from COVID-19, can I donate Convalescent Plasma?

COVID-19 convalescent plasma must only be collected from recovered individuals if they are eligible to donate blood. Individuals must have had a prior diagnosis of COVID-19 documented by a laboratory test and meet other laboratory criteria. Individuals must have fully recovered from COVID-19, with complete resolution of symptoms for at least 14 days before donation of convalescent plasma.

Ques: I think I had COVID-19, but I did not get a test. Can I still donate Convalescent Plasma?

Yes, please contact a valid blood bank and they can test and approve your donation.

Ques: I do not want to disclose my number publicly. How can my privacy be maintained?

We respect your privacy and thus we do not allow public viewing of your contact information by any consumer or seeker directly. Whenever a seeker searches the database matching your donor profile, you will get a whatsapp message with the seeker’s information and you can directly contact them

Ques: I am looking for plasma for a friend or relative. What are the steps?

You can call Singh at 8602007345. Share your details and your information will be sent directly to the matching donors.
