Manuel Masalva of ‘Narcos: Mexico' ‘reborn' after 105 days in hospital
LOS ANGELES - Mexican actor Manuel Masalva is on the road to recovery after contracting an aggressive bacterial infection in March that left him in a medically induced coma for weeks. In his first social media post since the onset of his illness, the "Narcos: Mexico" actor updated his followers on his current health status via Instagram on Monday evening. "I am healing. I want to profoundly thank you all for the support you have given me and continue to give me, in every sense, every one of you," Masalva wrote. "This [process] has barely begun, there is much more left to go, but I feel blessed, strong, reborn and well-accompanied. ... God has given me a new life." Masalva first felt the onset of an ailment when he arrived in Dubai in March, following a trip to the Philippines, revealing that he ended up spending 105 days in the Dubai hospital that first treated him for his prolonged illness. The actor first arrived in the Middle East city on March 18, his manager Jaime Jaramillo Espinosa told The Times in April. "[After] about two days in Dubai, Masalva began to feel internal discomfort and pain which increased by the day," Jaramillo Espinosa said. On March 26, Masalva underwent emergency surgery after doctors discovered the bacterial infection, which prevented him from traveling back to his home in Mexico. The following day, the infection reached his lungs and he had to be put into a medically induced coma. Masalva thanked the Dubai hospital staff for their work and for the distinct culture that "overflowed with love and spirituality." "I don't know if I really understand all of what's going on or just a part of it, it's been an eternity and there are still some parts missing, I just want to the strongest thanks that I can give to God, my family, my doctors and all those people that have supported me since the start of this process. I owe you all my life," he wrote. Masalva played the role of Ramón Arellano Félix in the Netflix drama series "Narcos: Mexico," alongside Diego Luna, Bad Bunny and Scoot McNairy. He has also been featured on the telenovela "La Rosa de Guadalupe" and recently in the series "La Guzmán." Copyright (C) 2025, Tribune Content Agency, LLC.

'Narcos: Mexico' actor Manuel Masalva in medically induced coma in Dubai
Narcos: Mexico fame actor Manuel Masalva remains in critical, but stable condition after being placed in a medically induced coma following the contraction of a "very aggressive bacteria" while travelling in the Philippines, reported Deadline. According to the outlet, Jaime Jaramillo Espinosa, the CEO of Mexican management agency JIM Management and Masalva's manager first relayed the medical situation of the actor to the Los Angeles Times. It reported that Masalva is currently hospitalised in Dubai. In late March, the Narcos: Mexico actor underwent emergency surgery after doctors uncovered the bacterial infection which had then reached his lungs. According to Deadline, the actor is currently on antibiotics and his lungs are responding to treatment. Masalva's close friend Mario Moran came forward to support his close aide by asking for donations to the actor's family for the international costs associated with the actor's hospitalisation outside of his home country. Taking to his Instagram handle, the actor said, "My brother is fighting for his life far from home. I want to ask for your help in this very difficult moment." "As was announced yesterday, Manuel Masalva — who is one of my best friends, who is really like a brother to me — fell victim to a very aggressive bacteria while he was on vacation. And this led to him being in an induced coma, and until now his situation continues to be delicate. The medical costs are enormous and in a country where everything is even more difficult. Any help, no matter how small it may seem, can make a difference in this difficult moment. If you are able to contribute, we will express our heart-filled gratitude," said Moran. In a more recent post, he thanked people who donated, sent messages, and helped to garner support for the better health of the actor. He added that Masalva's condition remains delicate and that he is continuing to receive treatment accordingly. "Now all that remains is to wait and have faith that in the coming days or weeks he will begin to improve," he said, asking people for their prayers. According to Deadline, Mexican actor Masalva is best known for playing Ramon Arellano Felix in Netflix's Narcos: Mexico alongside Diego Luna, Michael Pena, Bad Bunny and Scoot McNairy. His credits also include the Univision telenovela La Rosa de Guadalupe and the biographical drama series La Guzman. Last year, Deadline announced he would appear in Netflix's series The Gringo Hunters, currently in post-production in Mexico City.
