He was airlifted to the city three months back and has undergone lung trasnpalant
Jharkhand Education Minister Jagarnath Mahto, who was admitted to MGM Healthcare with COVID-19-induced severe complications three months ago, has recovered. He underwent a lung transplant and is doing well, hospital authorities said.
Mr. Mahto, 54, developed fibrosis in the lungs due to the infection, which severely damaged the organ. He had several complications, including hypertension, diabetes and coronary artery disease.
As his condition deteriorated, a clinical team from the hospital put him on ECMO on October 19, and airlifted him to Chennai for advanced care. Ten days later, he was tracheostomised. When a CT scan showed no improvement in his lungs, he was listed for a transplant.
