The doctors have expressed satisfaction over the condition of Anna Hazare who has been undergoing treatment at a hospital here after ending his 12-day fast for a strong Lokpal Bill. However, it will take another four to five days for his discharge. “He is doing well. He has also started taking soft diet and on
Tuesday he took poha (a dish made of flattened rice),” Yatin Mehta of Medanta Medicity, who is monitoring the 74-year-old Hazare’s health, said.
The doctor also said that Anna walked for sometime in his room. His blood pressure is 124/84 and pulse rate is 78 beats per minute.
Dr Mehta said ketones in his urine have reduced which is a good sign. It will take four to five days before he can be discharged from the hospital, he said.
The doctor said since he is weak, he is on complete rest. Though he is not reading newspapers, but he is keepign a tab on current affaris through television. “He has not read newspapers but seen some news bulletins on television. His spirits are high,” Dr MEhta said.
The doctor said his weight stood at 66.6 kg and it has not reduced since Monday. “This means his condition is absolutely satisfactory,” he said.
Hazare, who was admitted in the hospital on Sunday, had weighed 72 kg before he went on his fast.
