Soeharto hospitalized for low hemoglobin<\/p>\n
INDONESIA: Former president Soeharto has been admitted to
\nhospital, suffering from a low hemoglobin count, a hospital
\nofficial said Saturday.<\/p>\n
\"He was admitted yesterday (Friday) afternoon,\" said a member
\nof staff at the information department of the Pertamina hospital
\nwho identified herself only as Tati.<\/p>\n
She declined to give further details but Joko Raharjo, a
\ndoctor from the medical team treating the former president, said
\nthat Soeharto was suffering from a low hemoglobin count.<\/p>\n
Joko said Soeharto, 84, had \"a reoccurrence of intestinal
\nbleeding which has caused a lowering of the hemoglobin content of
\nthe blood\" but that his condition had begun to show improvement.<\/p>\n
Soeharto, who ruled the country with an iron fist until 1998,
\nwas admitted to the hospital a day after receiving hundreds of
\nwell-wishers, mostly former top government officials, at his home
\nin central Jakarta. Visitors said that former president, who
\nreceived the guests sitting, appeared healthy but did not talk.<\/p>\n
Soeharto was hospitalized at the same hospital in May after
\nregistering a low red blood cell count. He has been hospitalized
\nfor intestinal bleeding and heart problems in the past. -- AFP<\/p>",
