Gold coast university hospital

Gold Coast University Hospital: Former Australia batsman Damien Martyn is showing positive signs in coming out of his battle with meningitis, his former teammate Adam Gilchrist said. Martyn, 54, remains hospitalised in Queensland after being placed in an induced coma due to meningitis.

Martyn fell ill on Boxing Day and is now in a serious condition at the Gold Coast University Hospital. “He’s still in the hospital. There’ll be more details coming out as they come to hand, but certainly in the last 24 hours, some positive signs are the indications coming out of the various tests he’s having.

“There’s been so much interest and love. A fine player, terrific fella. I just hope he can continue a recovery,” Gilchrist, the former Australia wicketkeeper-batter, was quoted as saying by Fox Sports on Thursday.
