Abstract

Patients with severe COVID-19 may require admission to intensive care unit (ICU).  Those who respond successfully to intensive care treatment can be discharged from hospital, but the path to full recovery can still be an odd and lengthy one. We have highlighted here that patients face a lot many challenges even after being cured from the disease. 

Key words: COVID-19, recovery; Intensive care; Intensive Care Unit; ICU
