Watch: Why aren’t people donating plasma in Meghalaya? Here’s what an expert has to say

Meghalaya is not faring nearly as bad as other states during the second wave of COVID-19. However, the state has seen few people volunteer as plasma donors, said North Eastern Indira Gandhi Regional Institute of Health & Medical Sciences (NEIGRIHMS) Director, Dr P Bhattacharya in an exclusive interview with EastMojo.

Dr Bhattacharya said last year they gave plasma to eight patients, all of whom then came out of the ICU. Of the 8, one person died of other complications, while the other seven recovered and went home.
