Plasma therapy for Covid ‘irrational, non-scientific’, change guidelines, experts ask govt Sravasti Dasgupta © Provided by The Print New Delhi: In an open letter addressed to the Principal Scientific Advisor to the Government of India, Dr VijayRaghavan, the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) and the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), a group of 18 clinicians and public health professionals have expressed concern over the “irrational and non-scientific” use of plasma in Covid treatment. Plasma is a component of the human blood that carries antibodies, and it is believed that plasma therapy can be effective in Covid treatment if it is used after checking for neutralising antibodies. Plasma can be donated a month after recovering from Covid, and in gaps of 15 days.
