Presently Naik admitted to a private hospital, has been doing well after the plasma therapy, informed Rane.
The state health minister dismissed the criticism in view of Naik catching the novel infection, around the efficacy of immunity boosters that was recommended by the Ministry of Ayurveda, Yoga & Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha and Homeopathy.
“When AYUSH ministry has recommended immunity boosters, they must have done it after proper research and using their wisdom. It is not fair to pass comments on it,” Health minister told reporters.
To a question, he responded that , “Naik virtually went to the door of death and came back….It was bad luck that he got infected. He moves around among people. We should be praying for his fast recovery.”
The state government will be re-organising coronavirus treatment facilities from Monday, informed Rane.
He said, all critically ill Covid-19 patients would be treated at the Goa Medical College and Hospital near Panaji.
