Sathya Sai Baba, who has been undergoing treatment for multi-organ dysfunction, continues to be in a critical condition, doctors attending on him said today.

“His vital systems including liver are showing minimal response to treatment, which is a cause of worry to the treating doctors,” a medical bulletin issued this morning by the Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Medical Sciences said.

He continues to be on ventilator support and his blood pressure continues to show periodic fluctuation which is being corrected by appropriate drugs, it said.

Meanwhile, the Sri Sathya Sai Baba Central Trust (SSSCT) has denied media reports of diversion of funds or any other unauthorized expenditure.

In a statement last night, the trust said that all projects and works of the trust were approved by Sai Baba only, the founder trustee, who only has the power to sign cheques for disbursing payments for approved works.
