Governor calls for continued research in plasma therapy for COVID patients

 





Hyderabad, May 17: Governor Dr. Tamilisai Soundararajan on Monday called for more intensive and continued research on plasma therapy for COVID patients to explore its benefits, efficacy, and side effects, if any.

She said that further studies will throw more light whether the use of plasma for therapeutic purposes to treat the COVID-19 patients is beneficial or not.

Dr. Tamilisai Soundararajan, who is also holding an additional charge as the Lt. Governor of Puducherry, virtually took part in a high level discussion with Panel of Experts from JIPMER, Puducherry, ESIC Medical College, Hyderabad, Indira Gandhi Medical College, Puducherry, and MCRC, Trichy.

During the interaction, the Governor listened to the different versions of the experts on the use of plasma therapy to the COVID patients.

Experts from the JIPMER pointed out that there was not much recovery difference between the patients who took the plasma therapy and those without plasma therapy.

As the new central protocols called for the discontinuation of the plasma therapy to the COVID patients temporarily, the panel of experts said that it was better to discontinue using it as a protocol treatment for now.

However, intensive research into the advantages and disadvantages of the use of plasma for therapeutic use among the COVID patients may be continued to explore its efficacy or non-efficacy in saving lives.

The Governor stated that whatever is most beneficial to the patients, we need to explore, adhere and keep on updating our research to come out with better treatment options in future.

ESIC experts and other panellists pointed out that convalescent plasma, if administered early to the patients like within 72 hours or 7 days of infection and those with high titers of antibodies proved effective in some earlier cases.

Suggesting the use of plasma early in treatment for all the COVID patients is not recommended as it involves huge logistics and create chances of exploitation by the private hospitals, the experts pointed out.

 

We must all strive for the Healthy Telangana: Governor

 




Hyderabad, May 17: Governor Dr. Tamilisai Soundararajan on Monday gave a call to all the people in the State to strive for ensuring Healthy Telangana State.

“We must be very cautious about the rapid spread of the COVID-19. We need to strictly adhere to all the preventive measures like wearing double mask and other COVID-appropriate behaviour to contain the spread and ensure healthy Telangana,” she said.

The Governor was interacting with the senior officials of the Raj Bhavan through video conference from Raj Nivas, Puducherry, where she is holding an additional charge as the Lt. Governor.

She directed Secretary to Governor, K. Surendra Mohan, to constantly monitor the Covid situation and coordinate with the State government for all the necessary steps to contain the pandemic.

“We are in a situation where almost every 5th person is a suspected COVID infected one. We must ensure the strict compliance with all the preventive guidelines,” she added.

The Governor emphasised on the protection of children from getting infected and expressed concern that more number of children were getting infected in the second wave.

Referring to the launch of 2-DG anti-COVID drug by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), Dr. Tamilisai Soundararajan termed the drug as a potential ‘game changer’ in the treatment of COVID-19.

“I hope the 2-DG anti-Covid drug will be effective in preventing the virus growth by stopping viral synthesis as proved during the clinical trials. It is expected that the DRDO’s drug will contribute for the faster recovery of the patients and reduce their need for supplemental oxygen dependence,” she added.
