Anna Hazare Admitted to Bombay Hospital in Mumbai for Infection Treatment

Social activist Anna Hazare was admitted to Bombay Hospital in Mumbai on Monday night after his health deteriorated following a month-long bout of viral fever and recurring health issues.

Dr Gautam Bhansali, consultant physician and infectious disease specialist at Bombay Hospital, confirmed that Hazare is currently under his care. Medical specialists decided to transfer him to Mumbai for detailed evaluation and treatment after an infection worsened and showed indications of beginning to affect his kidneys.

Prior to his admission in Mumbai, Hazare had been receiving treatment at a medical facility in Shirur, located near Ralegan Siddhi. According to Dr Bhansali, the activist had experienced viral fever for roughly a month along with recurring bouts of loose stools, resulting in frequent visits to the Shirur hospital during that period.

Doctors reported that Hazare was stable at the time of his admission in Mumbai, although he was suffering from noticeable weakness and fatigue. Following the initiation of targeted treatment, his condition has shown significant improvement, and he is responding well to therapy.

Hazare has been placed in a special ward room, with medical staff noting that there was no need to admit him to the intensive care unit. Dr Bhansali stated that the activist is stable and is eating and drinking comfortably.

Hospital doctors have conducted several diagnostic tests, including a 2D echocardiogram, urine analyses, and comprehensive infection screenings. The results of these investigations are expected within the next three to four days, after which the medical team will decide on the further course of his treatment.

Following Hazare's admission, the Maharashtra Chief Minister called to enquire about his health and spoke directly with the attending doctors on Tuesday to obtain an update on his condition.
