There is no improvement in the condition of ailing culture expert and historian Satya Mohan Joshi, who is being treated at the Latitpur-based Kist Teaching Hospital.
In a press statement on Friday evening, professor Suraj Bajracharya, the hospital’s director, said Joshi has been suffering from chronic illnesses and as a result he has not been properly responding to medicines.
Joshi who has been undergoing treatment for prostate and heart-related ailments since September 23.
“As there has not been significant improvement in his health, his condition is critical,” said Baracharya.
The 103-year-old Joshi is also suffering from urine infection and pneumonia and a recent blood test showed he also has dengue.
Kist hospital has been treating Joshi free-of-cost. Also it provides free treatment to Joshi’s wife and free nursing services to the Joshi family. Last year, the Joshi couple had signed an agreement with the hospital to donate their bodies to the hospital for research after their death.
This, however, is not the first time Joshi has been hospitalised.
Earlier, on April 14, he was admitted to the hospital after he experienced chest pains and problems in urinating. He was discharged after staying in the hospital for four days.
