Former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, who was undergoing treatment at All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in Delhi, continued to remain critical, and was on life support system due to “worsening” health.
Vajpayee, the three-term PM, was admitted to the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) on June 11 with a kidney tract infection, urinary tract infection, low urine output and chest congestion. He was undergoing treatment at the premier institute since then. The 93-year-old leader, a diabetic, had only one functional kidney. He had suffered a stroke in 2009 that weakened his cognitive abilities. Subsequently, he developed dementia. The 1924-born leader was under the supervision of Dr Randeep Guleria, a pulmonologist and currently the Director of AIIMS. Guleria has served as personal physician to Vajpayee for over three decades.
