The girl who was badly burnt in the Mahdia dormitory fire on May 21 is making progress at a New York hospital and could be discharged in a couple of weeks.
This is according to a release yesterday from the Staten Island University Hospital which reported on a visit to her by Minister of Health Dr Frank Anthony.
After the May 21 fire that claimed 20 lives, the 12-year-old girl with severe burns to more than 40% of her body was taken to the GPHC. The patient was soon after transferred to the United States to receive comprehensive burn care at Northwell Health’s Staten Island University Hospital (SIUH).
