Havel to stay in hospital for at least one more week

The health of former Czech president Václav Havel, who was hospitalized with a lung inflammation last Monday, remains serious and he is to stay in intensive care for at least another week. Václav Havel was hospitalized last week, after complaining of breathing difficulties. He underwent minor surgery which was followed by complications. He is reported to be suffering from respiratory problems caused by a congestion of the right lung, part of which was removed in 1996 when he was diagnosed with cancer.
