Sathya Sai Baba's condition still critical

Sathya Sai Baba, who has been undergoing treatment for multi-organ dysfunction, continued to be critical on Wednesday but doctors attending on him were satisfied with his response to the treatment.

"Sri Sathya Sai Baba, who is under treatment in this hospital for multi-organ failure, is showing positive but slow response in the treatment given to him," a bulletin issued by A N Safaya, director of Sri Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Medical Sciences in Puttaparthi, said.

"He is still on the ventilator and is on intermittent hemodialysis. His vital parameters of health are nearly normal," it said.

"The continued stable state of health is a matter of satisfaction to the treating team of doctors, although he continues to be critical," the bulletin added.

85-year-old Sathya Sai Baba was admitted to the super-speciality hospital on March 28 following problems related to heart and respiration.
