DUHS had developed the IVIG treatment by chemically purifying the plasma extracted from the blood donated by Coronavirus patients after recovering from the disease.

Once administered, the IVIG treatment neutralizes the virus and stabilizes the immune system while the antibodies in IVIG stops the secondary bacterial infection.


  • Er its isnt clear from your article at all as to how this IVIG treatment has a ‘100 %’ treatment success rate?! Your article says that ‘50% of patients successfully recovered by 5 days’, well enough to be ‘discharged’. Can you please explain this claim?!
