Senior Congress leader Sonia Gandhi has been released from a prominent hospital in the national capital, marking a positive turn in her recent health concerns. The veteran politician was admitted nearly a week ago due to complications arising from a chest infection.
Hospital Stay and Medical Condition
Sonia Gandhi was admitted to Sir Ganga Ram Hospital in New Delhi on the evening of January 5. She was under the care of noted chest physician, Dr. Arup Basu. The primary reason for her hospitalization was an exacerbation of bronchial asthma triggered by a chest infection, a condition that required immediate medical attention.
Successful Recovery and Discharge
According to a senior official from the hospital, the Congress leader showed a strong response to the treatment regimen. "She has responded well to treatment with a good recovery," the authorities confirmed. This positive progress led to her discharge on Sunday, January 11.
The 79-year-old leader left the hospital at 5 pm, with a clear plan for continued care. Medical professionals have advised her to complete the remainder of her treatment at her private residence to ensure a full and comfortable recuperation.
