JAKARTA - The health condition of Sultan Rifat Alfatih, a student whose neck was entangled in a cable stretched belonging to Bali Tower, began to gradually improve after the Kramat Jati Police Hospital (RS) team increased his weight.

The steps of the team of doctors at the National Police Hospital by increasing the weight of the Sultan finally paid off. In one week, the team of doctors targeted to increase the weight of the sultan to two kilograms.

"So while the Sultan is being treated at the Police Hospital, the Sultan is in a condition of improvement. This means that the food we apply to the Sultan is very well responded to by the body so that there is a weight gain," said Head of the Kramat Jati Police Hospital, Brigadier General Heriyanto to reporters, Wednesday, August 9.

The Sultan previously had difficulty consuming food, causing his weight to decrease drastically to 46 kilograms.

"Hopefully this increase will be stable, the nutrition we provide to the Sultan within about Saturday this week there will be an increase of 1 to 2 kilos," he said.

In the near future, the team of doctors will also replace the NGT hose or tube that functions to consume food stuck to the Sultan's throat.

"The team of doctors is coordinating to plan to replace the NGT hose which feels it is time to be replaced. So now (the Sultan's condition) is better than before we are treated," he said.

As is known, the change in NGT hoses is to facilitate food supply through the Sultan's throat cavity.
