“Her condition is stable. Her history of chronic diabetes has affected her kidney functioning. She is on dialysis,” sources at AIIMS said.

The minister was admitted at AIIMS on November 7 at the cardio-neuro centre under the supervision of Balram Airan, chief of the Cardio Thoracic Centre. A team of doctors are monitoring her.

Swaraj has been suffering from diabetes for almost 20 years now.

Earlier in April, the 64-year-old BJP leader suffered from pneumonia and other health issues.
