Dean J. Sangumani said her problem was discovered at a private hospital two months ago. Since she contracted COVID-19, she was brought to the GRH. Neurosurgeons R. Manimaran and V. Prasad, under the guidance of department head R. Veerapandian, performed a procedure. The patient continues to be on ventilator support in the COVID-19 Intensive Care Unit but is recovering.
