A six-day-old baby, suffering from low haemoglobin, died at the hospital after the child did not receive timely plasma. The child died at the Lal Bahadur hospital on July 11. On the other hand, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Tuesday said that plasma has been beneficial in bringing down Delhi's death rate due to COVID-19. "Delhi was the first to inaugurate the country's first plasma bank and within days another plasma bank has been set up. Plasma therapy has played a major role in lowering the death rate due to COVID-19 in the national capital," Delhi CM told reporters here.
