Celebrities donating blood plasma for COVID19 patients



With the increase of COVID-19 positive cases in the Philippines, and pending the creation of a vaccine and a proven treatment, people turn to plasma therapy to help patients suffering from the dreaded disease.

While this remains to be an experimental treatment, hospitals have confirmed its favorable results. Thus, COVID-19 survivors who have fully recovered are urged to donate their blood plasma.

These survivors have developed antibodies in their blood that helped them fight the infection, and these antibodies are believed to be vital in treating other COVID-19 patients.

Among those who heeded the call for donations include celebrities like Iza Calzado and Howie Severino.

Read on to know about their stories in donating their blood plasma here.
