Bathandwa Zuzo, 48, was hit hard by Covid-19, but has lived to tell the tale.
It was sealed with a kiss from his wife – the story of a Covid-19 survivor, who walked out of hospital a healthy man.
“The nurses, the doctors, who were supporting me – I am here because of them. I am alive because of them,” said a grateful Zuzo, 48. The Covid-19 survivor’s wife, a nurse – who did not give her name – last saw him on that day in April.As he emerged from the hospital’s warren of wards on Monday, she welcomed him with a kiss.
Mbombo told News24: “He ended up in ICU and being [on a] ventilator. There is a notion that once you put people on a ventilator, don’t survive. Or you don’t hear about those who have been on ventilators. So today we are showcasing the strength of the health system, plus the skills that the doctors have – especially the physicians in ICU.
