The health condition of singing legend Sandhya Mukherjee, who is undergoing treatment for COVID-19 and heart-related ailments, has improved and she is stable, hospital officials said on Friday.
The nonagenarian is in a Covid isolation chamber and under the constant watch of a team of doctors at the private hospital where she was shifted Thursday evening, after testing positive for the virus, from the state-run SSKM Hospital.
"She has multi-organ dysfunction and a fracture of the left neck of femur. She is stable and is presently conscious, alert and oriented. Her blood pressure is being maintained with support and saturation with two litres of oxygen. Mukherjee has no fever at the moment," the hospital said in a statement.
She has accepted oral feeding, but is also being provided nutritional support through Ryles tube, it said.
Chief minister Mamata Banerjee had visited the hospital on Thursday afternoon to enquire about the iconic singer's health condition.
Mukherjee had on Tuesday turned down the Padma Shri award when she was contacted by central government officials telephonically for her acquiesce.
The singer, considered for long a prima donna of music in Bengal, has worked with several legendary music directors, including SD Burman, Anil Biswas, Madan Mohan, Roshan and Salil Choudhary.
