Rajinikanth Admitted to Singapore's Top Hospital


Singapore, May 28 (PTI): Tamil superstar Rajinikanth has been admitted to Singapore's top hospital, the Mount Elizabeth Medical Centre, according to medical sources.

The 61-year-old actor arrived here today with his wife and two daughters after he was discharged from a Chennai hospital where he spent two weeks being treated for respiratory problems.

He is now at the Mount Elizabeth centre which is considered one of the best hospitals in Asia and it's roster of patients includes big wigs like Indian politician Amar Singh who had a kidney transplant here in 2009.

However the hospital has refused to comment on Rajinikanth's health saying that it was not obliged to disclose the identity of its patients when they request complete privacy.

After the 'Endhiran' star was discharged from the Sri Ramachandra Medical Centre in Chennai yesterday, the hospital had released a bulletin saying that the actor was "cheerful" and doing well.

"He is cheerful, taking his food himself, spending time with family. He has scheduled his trip abroad for a change and relaxation and incidentally to go in for selective checkups," said the bulletin.

The actor suffered from exhaustion on April 29, the first day of the shoot of his latest venture 'Raana' and was admitted to the Isabel Hospital in Chennai. He was discharged the same day only to be readmitted on May 4 for allergic bronchitis and viral fever.

He was then admitted to the Sri Ramachandra Medical Centre on May 13 for respiratory infection and other problems. He was shifted to a private ward last Sunday after being in the intensive care unit.

    Good and apt comment by Dr.Kiran Acharya,Manipal on our healtrh care system.His comments are an eye opener for those beeming with having super speciality health care facilities.It is disgusting to see the ICU people in hospitals in open coridors in their uniforms.

    Hats off to Mount Elizabeth Hospital for respecting patients dignity & privacy!

    Indian hospitals lack this element. However good the health care in a hospital, unless they respect patients rights, privileges in the form of privacy, healthcare has no meaning. For the sake of publicity Indian Hospitals divulge any detail pertaining to patient, which is against medial ethics.
