Sathya Sai Baba critical but stable

Sathya Sai Baba, who has been undergoing treatment for multi-organ dysfunction, continues to be critical but stable, doctors attending on him said in Puttaparthi on Friday.

"Sathya Sai Baba continues to be in a stable state of health. Most of his vital systems have shown positive response to the treatment being given to him, but the response is slow," a health bulletin issued by A N Safaya, director of Sri Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Medical Sciences, said.

"All his clinical parameters of halth are nearly normal and are showing improvement over the previous values. He continues to be on assisted ventilation and on intermittent slow dialysis," it said.
