He was airlifted to the city three months back and has undergone lung trasnpalant
Jharkhand Education Minister Jagarnath Mahto, who was admitted to MGM Healthcare with COVID-19-induced severe complications three months ago, has recovered. He underwent a lung transplant and is doing well, hospital authorities said.
Mr. Mahto, 54, developed fibrosis in the lungs due to the infection, which severely damaged the organ. He had several complications, including hypertension, diabetes and coronary artery disease.
As his condition deteriorated, a clinical team from the hospital put him on ECMO on October 19, and airlifted him to Chennai for advanced care. Ten days later, he was tracheostomised. When a CT scan showed no improvement in his lungs, he was listed for a transplant.

After reporting less than 16% attendance at the vaccination centres till 5.30pm, the directorate of public health announced that it was making changes in protocol by allowing all willing healthcare providers – registered and unregistered – to take the shots across the state on Sunday.
The public health department had targeted 16,000 people on the first day, but it did not have the count of beneficiaries who received the invitation from the Cowin portal. In addition, some healthcare professionals including senior doctors who turned up at the venue found their names weren’t listed on the portal. “We have asked vaccinating officers to verify their identity, write their names on a register and offer the vaccination. The data will be fed into the system manually later,” said joint director (immunisation) Dr Vinay Kumar after discussions with senior health officials and the Centre.
