A Kanchanaburi hospital that rescued a female Covid-19 sufferer despite not being ready to treat coronavirus cases yesterday held a ceremony to mark her recovery.
Staff at Pahonpol Payuha Sena Hospital on Friday (March 24) bid farewell to the unnamed 56-year-old patient as she was discharged after making a full recovery. The woman, sitting in a wheelchair, was greeted by several medical personnel before leaving the hospital with her Finnish husband.
Doctors said she had arrived at the hospital in a severe condition weeks ago after contracting Covid-19. Since the hospital was not prepared to treat pandemic patients at that time, they struggled to treat her.
However, thanks to the tireless efforts of its staff and medics, the patient had now recovered and was ready to go home.
