Karachi: Renowned ghazal maestro Mehdi Hassan, admitted to Aga Khan University Hospital (AKUH) on February 12, 2009 for weakness, fever and disorientation, may be discharged over the next few days once doctors determine he is stable enough to return home.
Dr Aziz Sonawala, Consultant Neurologist, AKUH and Mr Hassan’s physician since 2001, said “when he arrived, Mr Hassan was diagnosed with sepsis, or a generalised infection, for which he has been treated. Multiple specialty teams cared for him, similar to his previous hospital visits. Though he remains weak, he will hopefully be discharged soon.
