Former President Pranab Mukherjee is being treated for lung and renal ailments and there was no change in his medical condition, the Army’s Research and Referral (R&R) hospital said on Thursday.

“Pranab Mukherjee continues to be in deep coma and on ventilator support. He is being treated for lung infection and renal dysfunction. He is haemodynamically stable,” the hospital said in a statement.

On August 10, Mr. Mukherjee underwent a life-saving emergency surgery for a brain clot and has since been on ventilator support. He had also tested positive for COVID-19.

Mr. Mukherjee was the 13th President of India from 2012 to 2017.
