SOEHARTO’S HEALTH IMPROVES, BUT STILL CRITICAL


The health condition of former President Soeharto improved on Wednesday. His hemoglobin level has gone up after blood transfusions.

Soeharto still needs a Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT) device to stabilize his heart, but it can only be installed if his hemoglobin level can go up higher.

Doctors also gave him hemodialysis to extract excess fluid from his lungs.

Chief doctor Mardjo Subiandono said Soeharto’s blood pressure went down during the dialysis, but had since improved.

The 86-year old former leader went into Jakarta’s Pertamina hospital on Jan. 4, and has been in critical condition since Jan. 5.
