Amid the growing number of cases in Madhya Pradesh, the state capital, Bhopal, witnessed a medical feat today after a hospital dedicated to COVID-19 treatment became the first in the country to release 1,000 patients.
Chirayu Medical College released 108 patients today as it performed the feat. With the discharge, the number of recovery rates among patients in Bhopal reached more than 60%.
A small function was organized at the hospital where the patients shared their experience on their treatment there. Health Minister Narottam Mishra was among those who attended the event.
“I had been admitted for 12 days. The staff really took great care of us. They gave us the courage to fight the virus,” said Bhumika, a first-year student admitted to the hospital.
