Two weeks since TN CM J Jayalalithaa was admitted to Apollo Hospital in Chennai with ‘fever and dehydration’, the hospital has released its most-detailed press release yet, indicating the critical nature of her health. The hospital says that she requires a longer stay at the hospital.
While stating that a “comprehensive treatment plan, including appropriate antibiotics, respiratory support and other allied clinical measures are being continued”, the statement says that the leader “continues to improve and making gradual progress”.
The hospital says that it had drawn up a treatment plan based on her “known history of diabetes and winter bronchitis”, which includes respiratory support, nebulisation, drugs to decongest the lungs, antibiotics, nutrition, general nursing care and supportive therapy.
