Delhi Plasma Recipient

Message For Recipient

Greetings from Stepone-Delhi Government Plasma Helpline. We have received your plasma request. Though we are currently searching for a plasma donor for you, it might take a considerable amount of time as we have multiple requests in the queue. 

We highly advise you to find a plasma donor by yourself (ANY BLOOD GROUP). You can reach out to us to expediate the Plasma exchange process at ILBS Delhi.

Kindly follow the below steps for Plasma exchange process at ILBS Delhi (Vasant Kunj).

Step 1:  Fill the five forms (Form 1-5). These forms are required to be filled by the hospital where the patient is.

NOTE: Hospital must stamp all the forms failing which plasma shall not be given *Very Important*

Step 2: Collect the blood sample of the patient from the hospital concerned. Make sure the sample is kept properly with care in ice box. Make sure it bears the name of the patient, UID of the patient and the date on which sample is collected. *VERY IMPORTANT*

Step 3: Make sure you have the copy of Aadhaar Card of the patient and plasma collector. You will need 2 hard copies if the plasma donor and collector is the same person.

Step 4: Find the donor. Important: the donor’s blood group does NOT matter for the purpose of securing plasma from Govt of Delhi Institute’s plasma bank. It is a barter system where you give them any blood group plasma and they give you the plasma of the right blood group.

Step 5: Make sure the donor has his/her Aadhaar Card copy and Covid+ report. Carry the hard copy, if not carry the soft copy. Hospital will facilitate the printing.

Step 6: Visit the ILBS Institute, Vasant Kunj. The Institute will check all the documents of the patients and then verify them. Then, it will make the donor fill few forms. Make sure after verification your documents are duly stamped by the registration counter.

Step 7: Visit the Plasma Bank (in the same Institute) at second floor. They will perform necessary tests and then give you the plasma of the required blood group if the donor’s medical tests are okay. Please note the process may take upto 4 hours.
