Sharp increase in death of patients needing urgent transplants due to pandemic.
Cape Town - The Covid-19 pandemic has impacted virtually all spheres of people’s lives, and for one woman it’s meant postponing the prospect of getting of a new heart.
“As I was being discharged while taking a shower, I fell and suffered a stroke while preparing to get dressed,” she said. Waller said even if she were to get a donor, she still needs to heal first before the transplant, and currently there are no doctors performing the procedure. Waller said because of Covid-19, someone with her condition will not get a transplant because they need to take medication if they get sick which the body may reject.
