Hyderabad: Specialists at Apollo Spectra Hospital save precarious patient from Nigeria

Hyderabad: After a prolonged 47-day treatment at Apollo Spectra Hospital, Ameerpet, a patient from Nigeria has fully recovered from an extremely dangerous condition.

Twenty-five-year-old Maddem Sasikanth Reddy from Kadapa, who was working as production manager at a food manufacturing company in Lagos, Nigeria, was suffering from drug resistant malaria with encephalopathy. A tracheal rupture, while rendering treatment at a local hospital in Nigeria, further complicated and led to deterioration in his condition with seemingly slim chances of recovery.

The patient was airlifted from Lagos after his relatives reached out to Dr Prasada Rao and Dr Ravi Raju CH, Consultant Cardiothoracic Vascular Surgeon at Apollo Spectra Hospital. Sasikanth was admitted in the hospital on September 28, where a multi-disciplinary team of specialists relentlessly monitored his condition, most part of it in ICU for 47 days. Sasikanth was kept on hemodialysis, till his kidney recovered with appropriate treatment.

The patient has now recovered and can lead a normal life. He is gearing up to go back to Nigeria and resume his daily routine.
