Former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee’s health remained unchanged as he continues to be on life support at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) after his condition deteriorated sharply since the past 24 hours.
The former PM was admitted to AIIMS on June 11 with kidney tract infection and chest congestion and was later put on ventilator support after his health deteriorated.
After a medical bulletin on the former PM’s health stated “his condition has worsened over the last 24 hours” and “his condition is critical and he is on life support”, hospital authorities claimed today (Aug 16) that there has been no improvement in his health.
