Ram was later shifted to Private Hospital, Greams Road, Chennai in the hope of better treatment as his condition did not improve. Initially, he was put up in a mini-ICU in the Emergency ward of Apollo with oxygen support and then shifted to the main ICU in Apollo on 26th May '21. As his oxygen levels did not improve, Ram was put on a ventilator from 29th May '21. However, after 5 days on ventilator in the main ICU of Apollo, Ram has struggled to maintain oxygen levels and now he is undergoing ECMO treatment process. This treatment is quite expensive which entails daily expenses of Rs. 1.7 to Rs. 2 lakhs per day for the next 15 to 20 days. This is apart from the ECMO set up cost of Rs. 8 lakhs.
