FG takes ambitious steps on covid-19

Nigeria says it is working on a research that would make huge impact in the treatment of coronavirus in the country and possibly be in the position to assist other countries.

According to the Minister of Health, Dr Osagie Ehanire, the research uses plasma from the blood of recovered Coronavirus (COVID-19) patients to treat people infected with the virus.

If it comes out successful, Nigeria would have made a breakthrough in the quest for coronavirus treatment.

The Minister said plasma of patients recovered from COVID-19 is called Convalescent plasma.

The normal form of dialysis is the process of getting out excess water and toxins from the blood in a situation where the kidneys are too weak to perform the function.
