The health bulletin issued yesterday morning said that the godman's "level of consciousness has considerably improved. His vital systems are in a stable condition. He still continues to be on assisted ventilation through ventilator and CRRT, which is a slow dialysis process".

Meanwhile, the Andhra Pradesh government said there was no cause for concern about the Baba's health though his condition continues to remain "critical". "There is nothing to worry about, but let us all pray for the speedy recovery of the Baba," Revenue Minister N Raghuveera Reddy said after a high-level review meeting on the health condition of the Baba at the Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy's camp office this afternoon.

Raghuveera said there was nothing to hide about the Baba's health and the Satya Sai Institute of Higher Medical Sciences was releasing two medical bulletins daily.
