- ALKHOBAR: Thirty-nine-year-old Chekkamadath Muhammad Shafi Kutty, the comatose Indian national who could not fly home early this month because of lack of critical lifesaving equipment on board, was flown home on Sunday by Air India.
Dr. Govindraj Satyanarayan of Jubail’s KIM Medical Center accompanied Kutty. He will be initially taken to Malabar Institute of Medical Sciences and will later receive intensive treatment at Al-Shifa Hospital at Perintalmanna in Kerala’s Malappuram district.
Indian community representatives thanked Air India’s Eastern Province Manager Vinod Kumar, India Fraternity Forum, doctors at King Fahd Military Hospital and airport and immigration staff for facilitating Kutty’s return to his native place.
“All is well that ends well,” said Kumar. “We hope and pray for Kutty’s complete recovery.”
