Veteran congressional leader and former prime minister of Assam, Tarun Gogoi, remains critical despite a small improvement in his health parameters, doctors said Sunday.
The 86-year-old man was admitted to Guwahati Medical College Hospital (GMCH) on Nov. 2 after having breathing problems due to post-Covid-19 complications. Currently, he is connected to a mechanical ventilator with multiple organ dysfunction (MOD) and has difficulty urinating normally.
“Since Saturday, there has been no deterioration in his health and his laboratory parameters have improved marginally. But his condition remains critical and we will watch him closely for another 48 hours, ”GMCH superintendent Dr. Abhijit Sarma told reporters.
“Currently, he is passing around 100-120 ml of urine in 24 hours. It would be good if the quantity increased. A large group of specialists from various disciplines constantly monitor his health and we are also in contact with experts from AIIMS, Delhi, and they are satisfied with the treatment protocol, ”he added.

Sarma said Gogoi is in no condition to be transferred to Delhi or any other place for treatment. The former CM is said to be oscillating between consciousness and semi-consciousness and briefly opened his eyes for a short time on Sunday morning.
Gogoi was diagnosed with Covid-19 in August and was admitted to GMCH. He was released from the hospital on October 25 but was admitted again on November 2 after complaining of shortness of breath.
