A 103-year-old freedom fighter HS Doreswamy has been discharged from a hospital after recovering from Covid-19. 5 days ago I was experiencing symptoms of corona, but physical discomfort was not happening at all. Still, I decided to get hospitalized. "I am fine now and have been discharged from the hospital," Doreswamy told PTI. Doreswamy was admitted to government hospital, Shri Jayadeva Institute of Cardiovascular Science and Research in Bengaluru for treatment.
The head of the hospital and son-in-law of former Prime Minister Deve Gowda, Dr. C.N. Manjunath was personally taking care of Doreswamy's condition and treating him. Doreswamy has given the message to the society that we can recover from corona even after 100 years of age with strong will power.
