Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Jayalalithaa’s infection is fully under control, and while there is no date fixed for her discharge, it depends upon her, Apollo Hospitals Group chairman Prathap C. Reddy said on Saturday.
Speaking to journalists on the sidelines of the 16th international symposium-workshop on ‘Ion Beams in Biology and Medicines’ here, Dr. Reddy said the Chief Minister could leave when she felt fit. She needs to reinvigorate herself to go back, he said. Ms. Jayalalithaa was admitted to Apollo Hospitals on September 22. A hospital bulletin then said she had fever and dehydration.
To questions on shifting her from the Critical Care Unit to a private room and whether she was on a normal diet, Dr. Reddy said the Chief Minister followed the diet she liked and a change of her room would be for her convenience only.
There was no major change in her treatment, he said. Recuperation is now required, and the team of doctors is working towards it, Dr. Reddy said.
