Of these, 18 were admitted in life or death situations, and recovered from intensive care with the help of other life-saving treatments, including artificial respiration. Six people recovered with risks of gestational blood pressure and five with heart disorder. One of them suffered from a very dangerous maternal heart failure that required artificial respiration called PPCM and recovered after proper treatment was administered.

A mother was also treated with a sophisticated medical system called the Uterine Artery Embolisation to treat the rare stupor after delivery.

Several mothers from in and around Coimbatore, who were diagnosed with coronavirus infection were refused treatment at private hospital, were admitted to the GH here, where they underwent treatment and returned home.
