Nine Chinese centenarians who recovered from COVID-19
NARROW ESCAPE
Another patient, a 100-year-old woman surnamed Liu, also recovered from COVID-19 recently and was discharged from hospital after 11 days of medical treatment at the Chongqing Public Health Medical Center, southwest China's Chongqing Municipality.
Liu is the eldest COVID-19 patient so far to have received treatment and recovered at the hospital. She had been bedridden for a long time and could not take care of herself due to various underlying diseases.
On Nov. 19, Liu was in a critical condition when she was transferred to the Chongqing Public Health Medical Center, according to Li Peibo, head of the center's medical affairs department.
During her hospitalization, Liu suffered two cardiac arrests due to chronic malignant arrhythmia and heart failure, but the hospital managed to bring her back.
Liu recovered gradually thanks to precise medical treatment, careful nursing and tailored food preparations at the center, said Li.
It was also arranged for Liu to stay in the same inpatient ward with her daughter and nanny. The three were all released from the hospital on the same day.
"It is like a medical miracle to successfully rescue and cure my mother, who is a centenarian with a severe case of COVID-19. We feel so grateful to all the medical workers and our government," said Liu's daughter.
