Zuliswa Maqana danced on her way out of Groote Schuur Hospital after spending 77 days being treated for Covid-19 — at times barely able to talk or walk.
The next day she was transferred to Groote Schuur, admitted to the intensive care unit , intubated and ventilated for 51 days out of her 54 days in ICU.
“The medical care received transformed her into the radiant patient who danced out of the hospital on July 20. One of the infections she had required her to complete a four-week intravenous antibiotic course,” said Pickardt. Head of department, Dr Keith Cloete said, “We know our staff work under challenging circumstances during this pandemic, but it is heart-warming episodes such as this and all the other wonderful stories we have been privilege to experience which does so much to continue to inspire our staff to be on the front line in taking care of our patients.”
