Former Indonesian President Suharto's condition has improved and he has a good chance of recovering, his doctor said Saturday, according to AP. «We're optimistic,» presidential doctor Marjo Subiandono told reporters during a briefing Saturday. The 86-year-old has been in the hospital for more than two weeks, suffering from multiple organ failure, pneumonia and sepsis, a potentially lethal blood infection. He received dialysis for failing kidneys and a blood transfusion. Doctors said privately he had been near death. The former leader is still attached to a ventilator, but his heart and lung capacity have improved, and his sepsis is also receding, Subiandono said.
