 The Saudi minister of defense and aviation, Prince Sultan Bin Abdul Aziz, said that the health condition of King Fahd Bin Abdul Aziz has been improved six weeks after he was admitted to hospital. But he stressed that the king will not leave the hospital.
He added in statements quoted by the Saudi news agency "we are not in a hurry for the King's check-out." | "We have to settle who gets the crown before he checks-out" |
Prince Sultan gave no further details on the King's health conditions. This is, however, the first time in which officials indicate that the stay of the Saudi king in the hospital, to which he was admitted over pulmonary problems, will be long.
King Fahd ( 83 year old) was admitted to King Faisal's private hospital in Riyadh on May 27. No official medical statement was issued on his health condition, as Saudi officials confined to statements assuring his satisfactory health condition. |
