Anna Hazare health update: Activist ‘better and stable’ amid hospitalisation due to renal infection
Social activist Anna Hazare, 89, has been hospitalised in Mumbai due to a renal infection. His condition is stable, and doctors are assessing his health after initial treatment in Ralegan Siddhi. Hazare is known for his anti-corruption efforts and received the Padma Bhushan award.
Anna Hazare, the 89-year-old social activist, is reportedly improving and in stable condition after being hospitalized in Mumbai due to a renal infection, an associate confirmed on Tuesday. Dr. Gautam Bhansali, a consultant physician, stated that Hazare's health is better and stable. The activist was transferred to Bombay Hospital from his native village, Ralegan Siddhi, where he had initially received treatment.
Blood tests confirmed the renal infection, but Hazare is now recovering well, according to his aide Datta Awari. Earlier this week, Hazare was admitted to a hospital in Ahilyanagar and later recovered. Former Union minister Prabhu expressed concern over Hazare's health, hoping for his speedy recovery and good health. Hazare has been involved in various campaigns for rural development, transparency in governance, and fighting corruption, most notably his 2011 anti-corruption movement that led to significant public mobilization.
He held 22 hunger strikes over the years, never resorting to violence, and his efforts resulted in the enactment of 10 laws. Hazare emphasizes the importance of addressing public grievances through peaceful protests and democratic dialogue, stating that disputes should be resolved without violence.
