A 25-year-old youth from Golbazar, Siraha has died of COVID-19.
The man died while undergoing dialysis at the BP Koirala Institute of Health Sciences in Dharan at around 9:45 Thursday night, according to Hospital Spokesperson Dinesh Sapkota. "He was apparently on dialysis for the past two years. He was brought to the hospital yesterday. We started dialysis immediately after his arrival. He died in the night during the procedure," he added.
Janakpur Hospital had referred the youth to Dharan after he tested positive saying dialysis cannot be done there. "He was referred here from Janakpur as we have the facility to do dialysis of COVID-19-infected patients," he revealed.
