A Christian doctor in Mexico has risked his life to save a child who contracted COVID-19
Dr Antonio Bayardo was well aware that he could contract the virus by performing emergency surgery on the child, yet he went ahead and did so.
On December 12, the doctor began experiencing flu like symptoms that got progressively worse in the lead up to Christmas.
Christian Newswire reports, he took a turn for the worse on Christmas Eve and needed hospitalisation, but a lack of beds meant he couldn’t be admitted.
His family worked around the clock to provide care, support and prayer across a twelve day stretch, but quickly found the task too onerous.
Dr Bayardo has now been admitted to hospital, but has suffered a number of life threatening complications.
His family says he’s an example of John 15:13 and laid down his life for the sake of another.
