Cyrus Mistry car accident: Condition of Dr Anahita Pandole has improved, says hospital official

Dr Pandole sustained multiple fractures, including in her rib and shoulder bone, in the road accident which killed former Tata Sons chairman Cyrus Mistry and Jehangir Pandole, Director at KPMG Global Strategy Group, on Sunday afternoon.

“But her femur bone in the thigh has been completely crushed. She might have to undergo hip replacement surgery. However, we are yet to decide on it,” said an official from the hospital.

The doctors said they won’t be able to gauge whether her condition is stable until Dr Pandole, who has sustained pneumothorax (collapsed lungs), recovers on her own without depending on the external support system. “Once we reduce the medications, we have to see how her body reacts to it. We will have to keep an eye if her vitals stabilise without the oxygen support and medicines,” said the official.

“The condition of Darius is better than Dr Pandole,” the official added.

Dr Anahita Pandole and her husband were shifted to Sir H N Reliance Hospital from the Rainbow Hospital in Gujarat’s Vapi in ambulances through a green corridor on Monday morning. A team of 20 doctors and multi-disciplinary experts has been formed for the treatment of the two patients.
