TAPAH: Jaslinda Saludin lost almost 10kg in the 14 days she went missing, says Tapah Hospital director Dr Wan Immi Salim.
However, she said that the 49-year-old female climber was in stable condition and able to eat and communicate very well.
"Her leg is in a cast due to the injuries suffered but God-willing she will recover quickly with rehabilitation and treatment," she said when met by reporters at Tapah Hospital here on Monday (June 8).
Dr Wan Immi also said examinations found several injuries on her body from being in the forest for a long time.
Asked about Jaslinda's emotional state, Dr Wan Immi said Jaslinda showed high spirits and a positive attitude and that this was the main factor in her quick recovery.
Meanwhile, Mohd Azlan shared that Jaslinda said she wanted to recover and be discharged from the hospital as soon as possible as she wants to return to work and attend her son's convocation ceremony.
"Although there is a slight injury to her leg, I am confident that in a few days she will be able to go out and continue her life as usual," he said.
Last Saturday, Jaslinda was found in a weak condition near Kampung Lubuk Gaharu, Pos Musoh at about 5pm by several Orang Asli residents.
The woman was reported missing while participating in the Trans Spencer Chapman hike on May 23 via the Pos Gedung-Gunung Bah Gading-Gunung Batu Putih-Kuala Woh route together with 13 individuals and two forestry mountain guides. – Bernama
