A patient in Dhangadhi giving plasma for a Covid-19 patient.
In August 2020, for the first time in Nepal, a 60-year-old man was treated with plasma therapy for Covid-19, at the Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital in Maharajgunj, Kathmandu. After he became free from the coronavirus infection, interest in plasma therapy began to grow in Nepal as well.
The population of people receiving and giving plasma started growing thicker. Simultaneously, in various hospitals of Nepal, plasma therapy began for Covid-19 patients.
Soon after, in August itself, a Plasma Bank was set up in Nepal to collect the plasma units from Covid-19-recovered patients. The Lions Club and the Rotaract Club have supported the drive, with previous experiences of running the hotline for blood bank even before the Covid-19 pandemic.
