Supporting SOEâ??s movement, employees of Pindad convalesent plasma donors at Indonesian Red Cross B

In order to support the convalescent plasma donor movement in the Ministry of BUMN and BUMN, Pindad employees also conducted a convalescent plasma donor at the Indonesian Red Cross (PMI) Bandung City, Blood Donation Unit on Wednesday, February 10, 2021.

Donors who are Covid-19 survivors must go through a screening process and meet the criteria set by PMI.

Convalescent plasma therapy is a method of recovery that aims to provide antibodies from covid-19 survivors. Blood plasma containing antibodies from donors is taken by apheresis method and then transfused into patients who need it.

Corporate Communications Manager of Pindad, Komarudin, who was also a donor, said that Pindad supports the Ministry of BUMN's conventional plasma donor movement and hopes to accelerate the healing process for other Covid-19 patients.

Prospective donors can register through the plasmakonvalesen.covid19.go.id site, the Ayo Donor PMI application, and can contact the call center at 117 extension 5.
