Delhi’s second plasma bank inaugurated at LNJP hospital

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Tuesday morning inaugurated the national capital’s second convalescent plasma bank at the 2,000-bed Lok Nayak Jai Prakash Narayan Hospital (LNJP), the city’s biggest healthcare facility for coronavirus disease (Covid-19) patients.

Earlier on July 2, the Delhi government had opened its first convalescent plasma bank at the Institute of Liver and Biliary Sciences (ILBS) in south Delhi’s Vasant Kunj.

The third convalescent plasma bank is in the works at the Guru Teg Bahadur Hospital, the biggest healthcare centre in the trans-Yamuna area and has been converted into a dedicated Covid-19 hospital amid the viral outbreak.
