Hyderabad, December 08: The Hepatitis-C treatment of former chairman of Satyam Computers B Ramalinga Raju, who is in judicial custody is yet to start, as he is still suffering from high fever.
“We could not start the Hepatic treatment for Raju, as he is still down with fever, which needs to come down before we begin the treatment,” Dr Ajit Kumar, head of Gastroenterology department, Nizam?s Institute of Medical Sciences (NIMS), told PTI today.
Dr Ajit Kumar, who appeared before a local court, had recommended immediate in-patient treatment to Raju at least initially for six to eight weeks, with constant health monitoring, which he said was not possible on out-patient basis.
The court on Saturday last, based on plea filed by Raju?s wife, Nandini, had allowed him to undergo in-patient treatment at NIMS. However, he was readmitted to the hospital on Friday night itself following high fever.
