Former premier Abdullah Ahmad Badawi was admitted to the National Heart Institute (IJN) at 3pm yesterday for his weekly physiotherapy session and is in good and stable condition.
The former prime minister’s secretariat office said in a statement that Abdullah was diagnosed with small spontaneous pneumothorax before undergoing the session and he has been advised to get sufficient rest under doctor’s supervision.
A spontaneous pneumothorax is the sudden onset of a collapsed lung without any apparent cause, such as a traumatic injury to the chest or a known lung disease. It can either be small or large.
“Alhamdulillah, he is in good condition. All family members appreciate prayers and well wishes for him.
“The IJN has advised that no visitors be allowed for now. Thank you for everyone’s concern,” the statement added.
Khairy Jamaluddin, in an Instagram post, said his father-in-law is still under doctor’s observation in the IJN’s Coronary Care Unit.
Khairy, on behalf of the family, expressed appreciation for the prayers and encouraging words from various parties.
Earlier, news of Abdullah’s health went viral on WhatsApp, claiming he was suffering from a lack of oxygen and was in a weak state.
