Ganesh Prasad, a 63-year-old patient who was on critical care support for 61 days, has become the longest surviving COVID patient in the country. The entire process of treatment has been tough for us as well but our team, and the family members of the patient went on supporting us,” said Dr. Soham Majumdar, Prasad’s physician and ECMO specialist at AMRI Hospitals in Kolkata. Continuous monitoring, continuous surveillance and continuous critical care nursing are the reasons behind this successful treatment,” said a consultant of AMRI medical team. More than two lakh people died during the devastating second wave in India, but Prasad’s story gives hope to the country that is preparing for an imminent third wave.
