As Covid cases mount, Karnataka grapples with plasma shortage

Express News Service BENGALURU: With Karnataka grappling with a persistent surge in cases and fatalities amid the ongoing second wave, the demand for plasma has hit a new high. However, there is an acute scarcity of donors, with Bengaluru’s plasma banks having run out of them as well. “Calls have started pouring in at our plasma bank and even at other voluntary organisations, but we are running out of stocks,” said Dr Vishal Rao U S, who heads the state-supported HCG plasma bank, adding that the demand has gone up almost five times. The HCG plasma bank is administering plasma to about five patients every day, when the need is above 25 per day.
