Another doctor donates plasma

Surat: City-based paediatric neurologist Dr Ritesh Shah, a regular blood donor, gave his plasma at SMIMER Hospital on Tuesday.

“I had developed Covid-19 like symptoms with fever and weakness in the first week of July and tested positive on July 6. I was in isolation for 14 days and recovered. During home isolation, I had decided to donate my plasma,” he said.

Dr Shah has donated blood over 40 times.

“This is the best donation we can do to others to save lives and we are not losing anything by giving plasma,” Dr Shah said.
