AIIMS doc visits Ajmer MP, no improvement in health
The condition of Ajmer MP Sanwar Lal Jat, who was admitted to the ICU on Saturday after suffering a cardiac arrest, is said to be stable on Sunday.
However, the 62-year-old is still unconscious and on the ventilator and Dr Vinay Goyal, professor, neurology from All India Institute of Medical Science (AIIMS) Delhi had visited Jat.
Jat’s brain suffered some damage, as oxygen flow stopped when he fell unconscious. There was some discussion about shifting him to AIIMS Delhi, but later it was ruled out.
“There is no considerable improvement and he is on ventilator. No decision to shift him to AIIMS has been taken so far,” said D S Meena, medical superintendent of the SMS hospital.
Jat collapsed while attending a meeting of party MLAs and MPs with BJP president Amit Shah at the state party headquarters on Saturday. He was rushed to SMS Hospital in serious condition.
According to doctors at SMS Hospital, Dr Goyal checked all the reports and discussed Jat’s treatment with the doctors.
He expressed satisfaction over the treatment given to Ajmer MP.
According to a medical bulletin issued by the SMS hospital, senior doctors were keeping a close watch on Jat. He was also examined by eminent neurologist Dr Ashok Panagariya. Though Jat is on the ventilator, his vital parameters such as pulse, blood pressure etc are within normal limit.
“He is still unconscious and is being provided the best treatment. But if there is no improvement in his condition then he can be taken to New Delhi for better treatment,” SMS college principal Dr U S Agarwal said.
Health minister Kali Charan Saraf said, “Jat’s brain has suffered damage as it did not get oxygen, so we don’t know when his brain will recover, as it may take two weeks or two months.”
Jat served as a minister of state for water resources in the Modi government before the cabinet reshuffle last year.
He was appointed as the chairman of the state farmers’ commission last October.
