Justice Prateek Jalan<\/strong> said, “can it be mandated? I’m surprised by the submission, can people be forced to donate plasma.”<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe petitioner replied, and said, can\u2019t we come up with a system under a centralised agency, if a person goes for test or treatment, he acn be asked for an undertaking that they will donate plasma after recovering. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Justice Jalan asked, so if they refuse to give undertaking, they should not be treated? Treatment cannot be made conditional like this. I understand that we should encourage people, but that is happening anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The petition has claimed that black marketing of plasma has started and submitted that a genuine person who needs plasma fails to get the same without running around from one place to another and may end up losing their lives to the virus during the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was stated in the plea, “It is necessary for the public at large to stop such kind of malpractice and to ensure that the plasma can be obtained from the recovered patient at the time of their discharge or to make a rule that every recovered patient have to provide plasma for the sake of treatment for others who are seriously ill.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
