No evidence that plasma therapy can be used for COVID-19 treatment: Health Ministry

Health Ministry Joint Secretary Lav Agarwal informed that plasma therapy is being experimented, however no evidence that this can be used as a treatment.

"National level study launched by ICMR to study efficacy," he added.

He said that until ICMR concluded its study and a robust scientific proof is available, plasma therapy should be used only for research or trial purpose.

"If plasma therapy is not used in proper manner under proper guideline then it can also cause life threatening complications," he added.
