KUALA LUMPUR: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak is in high spirits and continues to show excellent recovery, said Health director-general Tan Sri Dr Mohd Ismail Merican yesterday.
He said in a statement that the chicken pox lesions were healing well and Najib’s symptoms of gastritis had been resolved.
“He is now on a normal diet,” he said.
Mohd Ismail said the Prime Minister was expected to be discharged in the next few days.
“Datuk Seri Najib thanks all well-wishers for their prayers for his speedy recovery,” he said.
Najib, who was down with chicken pox, was admitted to Hospital Kuala Lumpur on Thursday for further examination after he experienced abdominal discomfort. — Bernama
