Bhubaneswar,:–<\/strong> Two nonagenarian COVID-19 patients have been cured of the highly infectious disease in Odisha, bringing cheers to the medical fraternity in the eastern state.<\/p>\n

The two patients — Satchidananda Mohanty and Dhirendranath Das — both aged 91, were admitted to dedicated COVID-19 hospitals in Cuttack and Bhubaneswar respectively.<\/p>\n

Both the men were admitted to the hospitals on September 5 after being diagnosed with the disease. They were discharged on Sunday night.<\/p>\n

Mohanty, an eminent advocate in Kendrapara town, was also suffering from hypothyroid and neurological ailments. He was immediately shifted to the ICU after his admission to the hospital.<\/p>\n

“We were worried about his condition as his oxygen level had dropped a day after his admission. However, his condition improved gradually after we put him under oxygen support,” a doctor who treated Mohanty said.<\/p>\n

“I must thank Additional Chief Secretary, Health and Family Welfare, P K Mohapatra and National Health Mission, Odisha Director Shalini Pandit for making provision of extra care for elderly COVID-19 patients,” Mohanty told PTI over the phone on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

He also thanked Kendrapara District Magistrate-cum- Collector Samarth Verma and health personnel for their dedicated service to the patients.<\/p>\n

“Doctors and other health personnel at the hospital were like my family members,” Mohanty said.<\/p>\n

His 60-year-old son Debdas, a type-II diabetes patient, also recovered from COVID-19 after being treated at the same hospital.<\/p>\n

The other nonagenarian patient, Dhirendranath Das, a former senior official with the Press Information Bureau and the All India Radio, was also shifted to the ICU.<\/p>\n

Das had developed a breathing problem after contracting the disease.<\/p>\n

A team of doctors including Dr Pradipta Kumar Patra, Dr Santosh Singh, Dr Asish Malla and Dr Arun Rath treated Das.<\/p>\n

PPE-clade nurses had fed the patient as he was unable to eat by himself.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
