“Donate Plasma Save Lives”

“Donate Plasma Save Lives”
Today, on the occasion of World Blood Donation Day, we appeal to all of you …
That people who have been recorved by the COVID-19, should donate plasma to save lives And cause other people to recover from this disease as Allah healed you Why you should donate plasma if you have recovered from COVID-19? If you have fully recovered from COVID-19, you may be able to help patients currently fighting the infection by donating your plasma. Because you fought the infection, your plasma now contains COVID-19 antibodies. These antibodies provided one way for your immune system to fight the virus when you were sick, so your plasma may be able to be used to help others fight off the disease.
Who can donate plasma?
If you have recovered from a positive test result for coronavirus, or had symptoms of the virus, you may be able to donate plasma to help with research into treatments for COVID-19 patients.
