Soumitra Chatterjee Health Update: Improvement in Condition, Doctor Says He is Responding to Verbal Commands

“We have reduced the oxygen requirement as he is still holding on to his saturation which is above 96 per cent to 99 per cent,” Dr Arindam Kar, leading the team of doctors to treat the veteran actor at the medical facility, said. According to the doctor, Chatterjee being drowsy is their only concern at the moment.

“The only problem that we are facing is his consciousness. He is presently drowsy but completely arousable. He is responding to verbal commands. He is trying to recognise people, intent of speech but he is only speaking some words. We are also concerned about his age and the comorbidities he is having,” Dr Kar said. The veteran actors’s daughter Poulomi Basu said “Baba (father) is improving and his vital parameters are okay. But we are told that doctors are working on his neurological side which needs improvement.” Chatterjee is still made to listen to music of his choice and on Saturday evening he communicated with his daughter when she visited him at the hospital, the doctor said.
