Jaipur: A 22-year-old MBBS student from Rajasthan, who had been battling for life in Kazakhstan after suffering a brain stroke, was airlifted to Jaipur on Monday evening.

Rahul Ghosalya, a resident of Shahpura in Jaipur and a medical student in Astana since 2021, suffered the stroke on October 8 and had been on ventilator support in a local hospital.

He was brought to Jaipur in an air ambulance and shifted to SMS Hospital under the supervision of medical and district administration teams. Hospital officials said he has been admitted to the Medical ICU, and treatment has already begun under the supervision of a team led by SMS Medical College Principal Dr Deepak Maheshwari.

A four-member panel of doctors has been formed for his care, and a special critical care ambulance from SMS Hospital was deployed for his transfer.

Rahul's parents had earlier appealed to the central and state governments through social media to bring him back to India for advanced treatment. Several social organisations also joined the family's efforts to facilitate his evacuation.
