A Filipino COVID-19 survivor says his purpose in donating blood is to help those suffering from the viral disease.
- After winning the fight against COVID-19, some survivors are paying it forward by helping doctors better treat coronavirus patients.
Frias told CNN Philippines he did not expect his donation to be a big deal to the Philippine General Hospital doctors, saying he did it with the main reason of helping patients who are suffering from the viral illness recover. "Noong nalaman ko po na pwede po pala kaming mag-donate ng plasma, hindi na po ako nag-dalawang isip na i-contact yung mga doktor sa PGH para magdonate ng plasma," Frias said in an interview on CNN Philippines.
Frias said the experience was similar to those he had as a regular blood donor of Red Cross, except for the use of the Apheresis machine.
