NEW DELHI: Congress president Sonia Gandhi, who underwent shoulder reconstruction surgery at New Delhi’s Sir Ganga Ram Hospital on August 3, was discharged on Sunday.
The panel of doctors that treated her, decided to discharge her around 8am after ascertaining that her infection had healed and she no longer had fever.
“Gandhi was discharged from the hospital this morning in a stable condition. She has been advised rest and medication,” said Dr DS Rana, chairman, Ganga Ram Hospital. “She is likely to visit the hospital for further evaluation of her condition in the coming week,” Rana added.
Sixty nine-year-old Gandhi had dislocated and fractured her left shoulder when she fell, following a spell of dizziness, during a road show in Varanasi on August 2. She had been running fever for a few days ahead of the road show.
The Congress chief also suffered from massive electrolyte imbalance that also triggered diarrhoea, fever and vomiting.
She was flown in to Delhi directly from her roadshow in Varanasi and was admitted to the Army Research and Referral Hospital. A day later on August 3, she was shifted to Ganga Ram hospital.
