King undergoes follow-up treatment at IJN

KUALA LUMPUR: Yang di-Pertuan Agong Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri’ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah, who was admitted to the National Heart Institute (IJN) last Monday to undergo food poisoning and intervention treatment, is currently receiving follow-up treatment at the centre.

Istana Negara’s Comptroller of the Royal Household, Datuk Ahmad Fadil Shamsuddin in a statement yesterday said the treatment for food poisoning had been carried out following His Majesty’s admission to the centre on September 21.

Treatment for the intervention was done following a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan on September 22 which showed that Al-Sultan Abdullah had suffered injuries while playing sports, he said.

“It is well known that His Majesty is active in several types of sports, including polo, football, squash, hockey and golf.

“The intervention treatment on Al-Sultan Abdullah’s knees and ankles went successfully on September 24 and His Majesty is now in stable condition.

“Following the intervention treatment, His Majesty was advised to undergo follow-up treatment under observation of the IJN specialists.

“Al-Sultan Abdullah is scheduled to return to Istana Negara after completing the follow-up treatment,” he said.

Ahmad Fadil also said that His Majesty had voiced concern over the spike in positive Covid19 cases in the country which had surpassed three digits since Sunday.-Bernama
