Over the weekend a Facebook user from East London in the Eastern Cape shared details of his mother's recovery from Covid-19 after she was hospitalised for two weeks.A social media post detailing the recovery of a 73-year-old woman who tested positive for Covid-19 in the Eastern Cape has gone viral after her recovery was attributed to “pockets of excellence” within the health-care system.
In the post, Ngalwa said his mother was discharged from hospital on Thursday after a two-week stay. During one of those weeks she was attached to an oxygen machine.“My 73-year-old mother is a fighter. She came home yesterday after two weeks in hospital, [where she spent] week one attached to an oxygen machine,” said Ngalwa.
Ngalwa said he was impressed by how health-care workers at Stutterheim Hospital treated their patients, including his mother, and how they worked tirelessly with little or no recognition. “Stutterheim, St Barnabas and Zithulele are three rural hospitals with high recovery rates in the province. It has been reported that 96 of the 102 Covid-19 patients who were admitted to St Barnabas since the outbreak have fully recovered.
