The first-ever intestine transplant on a COVID-19 patient in India was performed at Pune's Jupiter Hospital. The crucial life-saving operation was necessitated to save the life of 10-year-old Om Ghule, a resident of Mahad town in Maharashtra. The minor had suffered from a rare post-coronavirus complication that left his intestine damaged. The treatment of Om was conducted over a period of three months.
