The state government has given the go-ahead to the medical team of SPS Hospital, Ludhiana, to conduct plasma therapy on Ludhiana ACP Anil Kohli, who was diagnosed positive for Covid a few days ago.

Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh said this after a meeting was held to review the Covid-19 situation in the state.

The family of the Punjab Police ACP, who is admitted to Ludhiana’s Apollo Hospital, has also given consent for the therapy, for which the DHS, Punjab, is coordinating for potential plasma donors.

The therapy is being arranged by the state government’s Health Adviser Dr KK Talwar, former Director of the PGI.

On Dr Talwar’s request, Dr Neelam Marwaha, former Head of Department, Blood Transfusion Department, PGI, had agreed to guide efforts as regards plasma therapy, the spokesperson said.
