When she was admitted, the Hospital already had a well-established COVID-19 treatment regimens. Although Mrs. Farah Amir didn’t require ventilation, as she was on high levels of oxygen & received steroids, Antibiotics and Remdesivir (an antiviral) then she was managed conservatively.
Saifee Hospital was one of the first hospitals to use Dexamethasone (corticosteroid) medicine to treat coronavirus patients.
Mrs. Farah Amir was expertly managed by a very capable team, as she recovered from covid in due time & responded very well to the treatment and Mrs. Farah Amir has been on dialysis ever since.
She visits Saifee Hospital twice a week for her dialysis, upon remembering the difficult times of covid and her health. Mrs. Farah Amir said “Saifee Hospital has provided me the best care and continues to do so. The doctors here are very professional and I am very much satisfied”. Throughout the pandemic, Saifee Hospital participated in drug trials to identity new treatments such as Remdesivir and Tocilizumab. Our care for COVID-19 patients was on a level with top hospitals of the city even though we are not a tertiary care centre. Although most COVID-19 patients recover within a few weeks, some can experience mild symptoms for longer periods. While symptoms generally resolve with time, so the best way to protect yourself & others from COVID-19 and the lasting symptoms of the illness is by getting vaccinated.
