Another life was lost in the battle against the coronavirus, without his weapon vaccination in her hands.
This time, the battle against the coronavirus was lost by the Parthena Koutmeridou, daughter of the former PASOK member of parliament, Stathis Koutmeridis, while she was in her seventh month of pregnancy. The 38-year-old lawyer passed away after spending a month in the ICU at Agios Loukas Hospital.
The 38-year-old had not yet been vaccinated because she was waiting—on the advice of her gynecologist—to give birth first, and she was diagnosed with COVID-19 in her seventh month of pregnancy.
The baby was born via C-section to ensure the safety of the mother, who was struggling with complications from a COVID-19 infection.
Her loved ones had appealed for blood donations to keep «Patty»—as her close friends called her—alive, but sadly she passed away today. (1/12)
According to reports, the 38-year-old lawyer had undergone extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), a technique that supplies blood to the heart and oxygen to the lungs. This was the doctors’ last-ditch effort to save her life. Unfortunately, Patty was unable to hold her newborn baby in her arms.
As former PASOK MP Stathis Koutmeridis had stated, his daughter had struggled to conceive, and what frightened her was getting the vaccine.
