“We are working on it,” Gonoshasthaya founder and Trustee Zafrullah Chowdhury told bdnews24.com on Friday while seeking cooperation from all corners. Zafrullah himself took convalescent plasma therapy at home on Tuesday and Thursday for COVID-19 after testing positive for the novel coronavirus. In convalescent plasma therapy, blood plasma from the recovered patients is transfused into current patients with the hope the freshly-made antibodies it contains will help fight the virus. It was Prof Mohiuddin who advised him to take plasma therapy, according to him. The Gonoshasthaya founder pointed out that it will be difficult to get plasma for all COVID-19 patients.
