Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu has been re-admitted to a hospital in Cape Town and will remain in hospital until the weekend‚ his daughter‚ Rev Canon Mpho Tutu said on Tuesday.
Rev Tutu said the hospitalisation was unrelated to his cancer treatment. His oncologist confirmed that his PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen) level was pleasingly low.
He was discharged from hospital last Tuesday‚ and re-admitted on Tuesday afternoon after expressing renewed discomfort.
"His doctors considered it prudent for him to return to hospital for observation.
“He'll have a few days of bed-rest while his medical dream team brings the situation under control and determines the next course of action‚ if any.
“He will stay in hospital until the weekend‚ at least‚" Rev Tutu said.
