KOLKATA: A 95-year-old woman who had tested positive for
Covid on May 15 has recovered and was discharged from
Tapan Sinha Memorial Hospital run by Metro Railway on Saturday. Officials described the Madhyamgram resident’s recovery as a triumph of her will. Nandarani Acharya was admitted on May 19 with low oxygen saturation and mild breathlessness. Round-the clock treatment by doctors, nurses and para-medical staff, oxygen therapy and care, helped her beat coronavirus pneumonia after 25 days.
Acharya was discharged in a stable condition, without any oxygen support.
“In the second wave, when several youths have succumbed to the disease, a 95-year-old recovering is heartening news,” a doctor said.
