A 93-year-old woman has become a source of inspiration for those suffering from COVID-19 as she beat the disease despite suffering from multiple chronic health conditions and old age. The woman, a resident of Mazgaon, tested positive for COVID-19 and was admitted to Saifee Hospital on April 17. She has hypertension and had also been suffering from generalised body weakness for the past 8-10 days.
With proper treatment and care at the hospital's COVID facility for one and a half weeks, she was discharged from the hospital. She is now at her home, following the post-recovery course of action as a precautionary measure. "What helped me get through the illness was faith and inner strength. I am thankful to the entire team of doctors, nurses, and support staff for their kindness, compassion, and efficiency for helping me to recover from this illness" said the 93-year-old COVID-19 survivor.
