NEW DELHI:Former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee has been responding well to treatment for urinary tract infection at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences, which is seeing a beeline of political leaders wanting to enquire about his health.
In a statement on Tuesday evening, the hospital said the former Prime Minister was stable and “continues to respond well to treatment and is being monitored closely by a team of doctors”.
Since his admission to the hospital, the 93-year-old leader has been in the ICU and has undergone medical tests. He is on injectable antibiotics and will stay in the hospital till his infection is controlled, authorities said.
