Kin, private hospitals hunt for plasma, threatening GMCH research project

A critical Covid patient’s relative rushed to Nagpur on Sunday to collect plasma from a private blood bank. Mid-way back, the relative got a call that the patient had passed away, making all efforts futile. On Monday, the Government Medical College and Hospital (GMCH) Platina project team received 11 applications in one hour seeking plasma from a hospital in Wardhaman Nagar.
