In recent times, recovering from Covid-19 is just one part of the battle. The definition of a hero comes out when they save the lives of others by donating blood plasma. Rajendra Prasad, Chief Traffic Manager (Marketing & Commercial), TSRTC, who recently defeated Covid-19 and resumed duty, has donated plasma and now, is also urging others to do the same.

“After recovery, I donated two units of plasma at KIMS hospital. You won’t feel any difference if you donate plasma. Your energy levels remain the same,” he said, urging people not to believe in rumors and misconceptions on blood and plasma donation. Recalling his experience, Prasad said there is no need to get nervous or to panic if one tests positive. “There is the usual nervousness when the news of being positive first hits you, but you should overcome it quickly and fight it out,” he said. "Follow a proper diet, stay confident and adhere to the doctor’s advice and quarantine guidelines", he added.

“When in-home quarantine, I stayed positive and never allowed any negativity to creep in. Staying positive is key to winning over the coronavirus,” Prasad added. Prasad’s wife is a senior health officer working in primary health centers and was engaged in efforts to trace Covid-19 cases in different parts of the city. Appreciating the staff at Gandhi Hospital for the care they gave, Prasad said the daily diet in the hospital included ginger tea, bananas, eggs, idly/dosa, dry fruits and vegetable curries apart from rasam and curd.
