Speaking on the occasion, YK Foundation founder Kadem Suresh said people who were donating blood without second thought were scared to donate plasma. Majority of them were not aware that plasma (white blood cells) was an integral part of blood, he said.

Antibodies, which lay in plasma, fight with corona when the virus enters the human body. There was a possibility that the acute Covid positive patients would get relief from the virus if plasma of Covid survivors was injected into their blood, he added.

The Foundation’s State general secretary Maddi Sai Kishore Goud, secretary Chittimadla Rahul and others participated in the demonstration.
