In a bid to increase the number of plasma donors the State government has decided to honor the donors as well as special health incentives to their family members.
Health Minister Vishwajit Rane said that taking inspiration from the Gujarat government to encourage recovered COVID patients to donate plasma, the health department will be felicitating Plasma donors with an appreciation certificate along with that we shall be ensuring special health incentives for the family members of the donor.
“Leading by example, Goa will set a new trend in encouraging patients to donate Plasma,” he said.
GMC Dean Dr Shivanand Bandekar said that the hospital has been receiving just 4 to 5 packs of plasma a day even when the demand is for 20 – 25 packs a day.
