She is battling COVID complications
A resident doctor from Lucknow, who has been battling for life after getting infected with COVID-19 nearly three months ago, was airlifted to Hyderabad to undergo lung transplantation at a corporate hospital here. Currently, the doctor, Sharda Suman, is on ECMO support. The resident doctor from Dr Ram Manohar Lohia Institute of Medical Sciences (RMLIMS), Lucknow, contracted the infectious disease on April 14 when she was 32 weeks pregnant. As her health condition deteriorated, Dr Suman had to be put on ventilator support and an emergency C-Section surgery was performed on May 1. She was provided with ECMO support post delivery. A three-member committee recommended that she should undergo lung transplantation. The Uttar Pradesh government has sanctioned ₹1.5 crore for the procedure, said sources.More Related News
