Ankara, ANI. Turkey has begun testing plasma therapy as a possible cure for corona virus disease. Kerem Kınık, president of the Red Crescent Society of Turkey, said that we are waiting for the blood donation of all those who have been discharged from hospitals after defeating the corona virus within 14 days, so that other patients can be saved.
According to Kinick, everyone recovering from COVID-19 can donate blood three times a week.
TRT reported that Kursat Demir, a Turkish doctor, is the country’s first plasma donor. Demir donated blood to the Red Crescent facility. According to TRT, the plasma of patients recovering from the virus contains antibodies that can be transferred to other infected.
So far, 30,217 cases of COVID-19 have been confirmed in Turkey, while 649 people have died due to this deadly virus.
