A 57-year-old woman did fourth plasma donation in five months since the outbreak of COVID-19. The woman, identified as Sneha Joseph, is the executive director of Holy Spirit Hospital, Andheri. She perhaps became the first person in the country to make four plasma donations.

Recently, doctors from BYL Nair Hospital made an urgent SOS call requesting Joseph to donate plasma. According to a report in Times of India, Joseph, whose blood group is AB+, is a universal plasma donor. Nair is one of the sites for the PLATINA trial that is studying the efficacy of plasma in treating critical patients.
