Among the very few centres across the country, Jammu was poised to start plasma therapy treatment of moderate to severe Corona- virus infected people as the GMC has obtained permission from Institutional Ethics Committee after the formalities of holding its Board Meeting were completed.

Plasma therapy , again like the blood bank, was wholly dependent on the donors, the immediate task and on a perpetual basis till the pandemic stays, is finding out and preparing data of donors , analysing and following the criteria for donors and receivers as prescribed by the ICMR and that having been taken into consideration, a proposal was in the pipe line to be sent to the ICMR. Till an antidote to the virus was found and was available freely in the market, plasma therapy carried a lot of promise in successfully treating the virus infected people.
