Former Chief Minister of West Bengal Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee is alert and responding to doctors and visitors, according to the health update provided by Woodlands Multispeciality Hospital on Sunday.

The former Chief Minister of West Bengal was admitted to Woodlands Hospital on July 29 with a lower respiratory tract infection and Type II respiratory failure.
The press statement further added that the overall clinical status of the former Chief Minister remains stable.
"Medical board will be convened tomorrow. Conservative medical management, physiotherapy, and lung rehabilitation are going on. Arterial line has been removed today morning. He is undergoing trial on his home BIPAP Machine. He is on Ryles tube feeding and swallow assessment is being done. His overall clinical status remains stable," it further stated.
"The multidisciplinary medical team treating him is keeping a close watch on his progress," said Dr Rupali Basu, Managing Director & CEO of Woodlands Hospital.
Bilal's Note: I have immense respect for this principled man (with ancestral roots in Bangladesh). He used to live with his wife and daughter in a two-room flat in Ballygunge, Kolkata even when he worked as Chief Minister of Bengal (and still does). Communist maybe, but no greater role model in my book as a politician. I have further respect because - In January 2022, the Central Government of India bestowed Bhattacharjee with the Padma Bhushan, the third-highest civilian award in India. However, he declined the award. This I call - a man with principle. We are lucky to have him with us in 2023. May Allah grant him long life.
