Ex-president Pranab Mukherjee’s health has worsened after signs of a lung infection, a Delhi hospital said on Wednesday.
Mukherjee, who had tested positive for coronavirus, has been admitted since last week for a surgery to remove a clot in his brain.
“There has been a decline in the medical condition of Hon’ble Shri Pranab Mukherjee as he has developed features of lung infection. He continues to be on ventilator support and is currently being managed by a team of specialists,” the Army Research and Referral hospital said in a statement.
Pranab Mukherjee’s son Abhijit Mukherjee has been tweeting regular updates on the health of the former President.
Earlier, he had tweeted, “With all your good wishes and sincere efforts of the doctors, my father is stable now! His vital parameters continue to remain under control and manageable! Positive signs of his improvement are noticed! I request you all to pray for His speedy recovery!”
