The Healing Touch Of Humanity
Pavitra, a 50-year-old woman, found herself grappling with the mysterious source of the virus that had affected her. She exhibited all the distressing symptoms of Covid-l9 while confined to her rented room, where her l8-year-old daughter Sushma tirelessly cared for her. Despite the passing of l2 days, they remained uncertain about seeking medical assistance.
As Pavitra’s condition worsened, Sushma urgently called for an ambulance. However, Pavitra’s frailty prevented her from walking to the ambulance. Although she hoped for assistance from her neighbors, none came forward. Fortunately, some compassionate pedestrians came to their aid, helping Pavitra to reach the ambulance.
Admitted to a local hospital, Pavitra faced a dire financial predicament. She lacked the means to afford essential medical care, leaving her confined to the ICU with only the supply of oxygen. The commercial hospital demanded upfront payment before commencing treatment, leaving Pavitra feeling helpless and resigned to an uncertain fate.
During this critical moment, Nepal Health Trust learned of Pavitra’s distressing situation and swiftly intervened. Dr. Mahendra, an expert in Covid-l9 treatment, conducted a thorough examination. Shockingly, more than 50% of Pavitra’s lungs had already suffered damage due to pneumonia. Without delay, Dr. Mahendra initiated the necessary treatment, understanding the urgency of the situation.
Faced with financial hardship, Pavitra found a glimmer of hope when Nepal Health Trust graciously covered all her medical expenses. Miraculously, after 2l days of battling the life-threatening virus, Pavitra emerged victorious. With gratitude to the support received, she was discharged from the hospital, completely recovered from the ordeal.
This heartening journey reflects the triumph of human compassion and solidarity in the face of adversity. Through the benevolence of organizations like Nepal Health Trust and the expertise of Dr. Mahendra, Pavitra’s story serves as a testament to the power of community care and support in overcoming life’s most challenging moments.
