Veteran social activist Anna Hazare was admitted to a private hospital in Pune on Saturday.

Veteran social activist Anna Hazare was admitted to a private hospital in Pune on Saturday. He was hospitalized at the Sancheti Institute for Orthopedics and Rehabilitation for chest congestion and viral fever.

Anna Hazare was brought to the hospital after his close associate and personal medical consultant Dr. Kantilal Sancheti voiced concern on the health of the anti-graft crusader saying he needed to be hospitalized at the earliest.

Stool Test
Faecal matter may be subjected to occult blood tests, microbiology tests, and chemical tests and can diagnose the presence or absence of a number of medical conditions.

The 74-year-old activist looked weak and fragile as he was taken inside the hospital on a stretcher.

Dr. Parag Sancheti, Chairman of Sancheti Hospital told mediapersons that his situation was not critical and he would recover in few days.

"Mr. Anna Hazare has been admitted and we have sent him for blood test and ECG is done. No major problems but he requires rest. He has been given antibiotics. We are sure that his condition will stabilize in four to five days time," said Parag Sancheti.

How to Take Temperature
Body temperature which is the internal temperature of a living organism.

Concerns over Anna's health have been mounting ever since he went on a three-day fast to press his forum's demand for a strong and effective Lokpal (Ombudsman) body at Mumbai recently.

The 74-year-old activist was forced to cut short his hunger strike after a team of specialists advised him to start eating again on the second day of his fast, citing low blood pressure, weakness and threat to his kidneys.

New Type of Viral Fever Kills Over a Hundred People in Congo
An as yet unidentified viral fever seems to be haunting the Democratic Republic of Congo. More than 100 people have died so far.

Ever since he ended the fast, an ailing Hazare has been recuperating and resting in Ralegan Siddhi and this was after weeks and months of intense traveling, public speeches, press conferences and meetings in his crusade against corruption.
