Sonam Wangchuk Under Round‑The‑Clock Medical Care, Condition Stable

New Delhi – The education activist who sparked a nation‑wide debate by fasting for weeks is still hooked up to a maze of monitors at Vardhman Mahavir Medical College and Safdarjung Hospital. Doctors say his condition is stable, but the story isn’t over yet.

According to a health bulletin released at 7 p.m. on Sunday, Sonam Wangchuk’s vital parameters – heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen levels – have held steady. Even his blood reports show a modest uptick, a tiny sign that his body is beginning to respond to the intensive care.

That said, the bulletin is clear: the team isn’t planning to ease off. A multidisciplinary crew from Safdarjung, AIIMS and the college’s own specialists are watching him around the clock, ready to step in at the first hint of trouble.

Why the vigilance? Prolonged fasting, as the doctors stress, isn’t just about skipping meals. It puts systemic stress on organs – kidneys, liver, the heart – and can trigger a cascade of complications. So the treatment plan isn’t only about stabilising what’s already stable; it’s about pre‑empting what could go wrong.

Medical Superintendent Dr. Arvind Kumar reassured the public that every necessary resource is being deployed. “We have full‑time monitoring, lab support and a clear protocol for any eventuality,” he said, adding that the patient’s condition will continue to be reassessed every few hours.

Public reaction has been a mix of anxiety and solidarity. Supporters have flooded social media with messages of hope, while critics remind everyone of the risks involved in such a drastic protest. The hospital, for its part, maintains a strictly professional stance – it’s all about science and care right now.

In short, Wangchuk’s vitals are holding steady, his bloodwork is inching forward, but the road ahead demands relentless medical oversight. As long as the monitors beep and the doctors remain alert, there’s cautious optimism that he’ll pull through.
