"Jayalalithaa Was Brought To Apollo In Breathless State": Hospital Official



CHENNAI:  The late Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa was brought to Apollo Hospital in a 'breathless state' on September 22 last year and those she approved were beside her during her treatment there, a top hospital official said today.

The AIADMK supremo spent 75 days in the hospital before breathing her last on December 5 last year.

"She (Jayalalithaa) was brought to the hospital in a breathless state, was given adequate treatment and recovered from it," Apollo Hospitals Vice-Chairperson Preetha Reddy told a private Tamil channel in New Delhi in reply to a question.

"Unfortunately, you know the outcome at the end was not what everybody was looking for. And that is the hand of fate which I don't think anyone can do anything about it", she said.

To another query on the controversy raked up by some persons on the circumstances leading to her death, Ms Reddy said the hospital treated her with best clinicians from New Delhi as well as from abroad.

"See, I think the hospital has done its best. We have the best clinicians from (New) Delhi, from AIIMS, from abroad within this system", she said.
