Malawian president collapses

MALAWI President Bingu wa Mutha-rika (78) was yesterday reportedly rushed to Kamuzu Central Hospital in the capital Lilongwe after suffering a heart attack.
A Malawian radio station, Zodiak, announced that President wa Mutharika was rushed to the country’s main referral hospital where he was admitted into the Intensive Care Unit.
At the time of going to press, no official statement had been made about the president’s health condition with government spokeswoman Patricia Kaliati maintaining that she could not confirm that the president was in hospital.
Kaliati told Reuters: “What you are saying is news to me.
“I was with him this morning and I can tell you that he is alright.”
But a senior official at the hospital, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said President wa Mutharika suffered cardiac arrest and had remained unconscious since 9am yesterday.
Reports said President wa Mutharika was brought to the hospital in a convoy of three cars.
“His head was covered to hide his face as he was wheeled in on a wheelchair,” said one hospital source.
A high-ranking official within the government confirmed the development to Xinhua, saying the president had had a cardiac arrest.
“It’s true the president is in ICU at Kamuzu Central Hospital where he was rushed after he had a cardiac arrest earlier today,” said the source.
