Yanira Soriano, 36, first met her baby, whom she had given birth in early April. Seriously from the Covid-19, she had to be placed in an artificial coma and placed on a ventilator. The doctors then decided to operate on her urgently and have her child born by cesarean.
"It takes a lot of people on multiple guards to provide the level of care that this patient needed," says Dr. Benjamin Schwartz, head of obstetrics and gynecology at Southside Bay Shore Hospital (New York, USA) , where the patient was cared for.
"The fact that this mother not only survived but was able to get up from her wheelchair, get into her car and hold her baby in her arms gives us all great hope for future and current patients" a he added.
