On a day Dr. Richard Beale, consultant intensivist from the London Bridge Hospital, continued to monitor Chief Minister Jayalalithaa’s vitals and parameters, Tamil Nadu Governor C. Vidyasagar Rao, who visited her at Apollo Hospitals, found her to be “recovering well.”

Mr. Rao, who visited the hospital at 6.45 p.m. on Saturday, was briefed by Dr. Pratap C. Reddy, chairman, Apollo Hospitals, on the treatment being given to Ms. Jayalalithaa. He was in the hospital for around 30 minutes.

“The Governor was happy to note that the Hon’ble Chief Minister is recovering well,” said a Raj Bhavan press release, issued by the Governor’s Principal Secretary. It is learnt that the Governor had, along with Dr. Reddy, seen Ms. Jayalalithaa in the ward where she is being given treatment.
