Muscat: An Indian doctor, who suffered multiple fractures and a brain injury during a road crash in Muscat that left his mother dead, is showing signs of recovery, his wife said.
The doctor was injured in an accident on June 4 and was airlifted to India last week for advanced treatment.
“He is still in a semi-conscious state. He is responding to commands, but to bring him back to normal life may take a few more months,” Angel Binoy, the wife of Binoy said.
Binoy, who was working as an assistant cardiologist at the Badr Al Samaa Hospital in Ruwi, was left fighting for life after the accident that took place last Friday near Wattayah in Muscat.
“He has suffered a brain injury, a fractured rib and injured his facial bone. However, his current situation is better than what I saw after the accident,” Angel revealed.
“There will be difficulty in managing the motor ability, however, we hope for the best,” Angel, who is a dentist and is currently completing her higher studies in India, said. Angel had flown to Muscat following the accident.
Binoy’s mother, who was killed in the accident, had been living with him for the last six years in Muscat. According to a report by the National Centre for Statistics and Information released in May, traffic accidents in Oman have decreased by 32.5 per cent.
“The number of such accidents stood at 1,413 by the end of April this year. They resulted in 210 deaths and 903 injuries. While the number of injuries has also dropped by 22.8 per cent, data showed that the death rate rose by 1.4 per cent,” the report added.
