Press Release
31 March 2022

The Ministry of Health would like to update the nation on the demise of a 52 years old woman yesterday at the National COVID-19 Hospital, Taba.

The deceased, who was referred from Paro, was a patient of advanced cervical cancer resulting into multiple other medical conditions. She was on palliative care and unfortunately got infected with the COVID-19 virus. Despite active management, she succumbed to medical complications that are associated with COVID-19 pneumonia and respiratory failure.

MOH would like to inform the public that the National Clinical Team is tasked to carry out detailed clinical assessments of any deaths in people infected with COVID-19 to determine the root cause of the death. Henceforth, as per the WHO and National guidelines, only deaths directly resulting from respiratory symptoms (pneumonia, ARDS) and/or sepsis as determined clinically, will be declared as COVID-19 deaths.
