A 106-year old woman from Thane district of Maharashtra was discharged from hospital on Sunday after defeating Covid-19. She was in the hospital for 10 days.

The woman proudly displayed her discharge certificate before walking out of the hospital, with a big smile on her face.

According to her daughter-in-law, hospitals were initially reluctant to admit her due to her age. She was however finally admitted to a Covid-19 treatment facility set up by the Kalyan Dombivli Municipal Corporation (KDMC).

"We are really thankful to the hospital's medical team who took proper care of her and helped her in defeating the coronavirus," said the daughter-in-law.

Dr Rahul Ghule, managing director of "One Rupee Clinic", which is responsible for the management of the Covid facility, expressed gratitude towards his team for taking care of the elderly woman.

"We are happy that she successfully responded to the treatment," he added.

"One Rupee Clinics", which charge Re 1 per patient for their services, have been set up at select stations on the Central Railway"s suburban section to provide emergency help to rail accident victims and give medical treatment to the general public.
