Jaipur: A 22-year-old medical student from Rajasthan, who was fighting for his life in Kazakhstan after suffering a stroke, was airlifted to Jaipur on Monday evening and admitted to a government hospital for advanced treatment, officials said.
Rahul Ghosalya, a resident of Shahpura in Jaipur district and an MBBS student in Astana from 2021, suffered a stroke on October 8, according to news agency PTI. He was on ventilator support in a hospital in Kazakhstan for several days.
He was airlifted to Jaipur and taken to Sawai Man Singh Hospital (SMS) where he was admitted by a special team of doctors and district administration officials. Rahul has now been admitted to the medical ICU where a team led by SMS Medical College Principal Dr. Deepak Maheshwari started his treatment.
Hospital officials said a four-member medical board has been set up to oversee his care. A special intensive care ambulance and a specialized medical team from the SMS Hospital were deployed to facilitate his transfer from the airport to the hospital.
Rahul’s family had earlier taken to social media to appeal to both the central and state governments for help in bringing him back to India for advanced medical treatment. The family’s efforts were also supported by several social organizations that helped coordinate his evacuation and return to Jaipur.
