Event Summary

Manuel Masalva, a 34-year-old Mexican actor known for his role in 'Narcos: Mexico', is in a medically induced coma in United Arab Emirates — Dubai after contracting a 'very aggressive' bacterial infection, possibly during a trip to the Philippines. He underwent emergency surgery on March 26, and the infection spread to his lungs. Doctors have since identified the bacteria and administered antibiotics, and his condition is described as critical but stable. His family launched a GoFundMe campaign, which has surpassed its goal of 1 million Mexican pesos (over $50,000 USD), to cover his extensive medical expenses. Fellow actor and friend, Mario Morán, has been providing updates and soliciting support for Manuel Masalva.
