PMI asks asks branches to collect convalescent plasma

Indonesian Red Cross (PMI) chief Jusuf Kalla has asked regional branches of the organization to collect convalescent plasma for COVID-19 treatment. The former vice president said convalescent plasma came from people who had recovered from the disease. “The community needs this [type of] blood donation, especially during the pandemic,” he said in a statement, as quoted by antaranews.com on Monday. He said convalescent plasma was considered an effective COVID-19 treatment and could be used to treat critically ill patients. The United States has authorized the emergency use of convalescent blood plasma as a treatment for COVID-19. According to an AFP report in August, when a person has COVID-19, their body produces antibodies that fight the virus. These proteins float in plasma, the liquid component of blood.
