OFFICIAL STATEMENT ABOUT SWAMI'S HEALTH ISSUED ON APRIL 13, 2011 AT 05:00 P.M.   Posted on April 13, 2011 at 6:00 p.m. (IST)       Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba who was admitted in this hospital on 28th March is responding to the treatment, although the response is slow, which is expected in view that Bhagawan’s body is 86 years old. He still continues to be on ventilator supported respiration. The response of his kidneys is also encouraging, yet the need of dialysis is felt and therefore, he is being given a slow intermittent hemodialysis. The doctors attending upon him are now quite hopeful about the success of the treatment being given to him. He continues to be critical.   Signed by Dr. A. N. Safaya Director, SSSIHMS-PG.
