Here is the latest statement from The Presidency on Madiba’s Health
Clarification on the health of former President Nelson Mandela
04 July 2013
The Presidency has noted media reports about the condition of former President Nelson Mandela and would like to make a clarification.
Former President Mandela has been and remains under the care of a multi-disciplinary panel of South African medical experts drawn from the South Africa Military Health Services, the public sector, the universities and the private sector. Under this panel a team of doctors, nurses, paramedics and other health professionals attend to Madiba on a 24 hour basis.
“We confirm our earlier statement released this afternoon after President Jacob Zuma visited Madiba in hospital that Madiba remains in a critical, but stable condition. The doctors deny that the former President is in a vegetative state.”
