Congress leader Sonia Gandhi has been admitted to Sir Ganga Ram Hospital in Delhi, the news agency reported, citing sources, on Tuesday. Hospital officials said she is stable and doing well, and is currently under the observation of a chest physician. She was admitted on Monday at around 10 pm.
According to Dr Ajay Swaroop, Chairman, Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, the Congress leader was experiencing respiratory discomfort, and upon medical examination, it was found that her bronchial asthma had been mildly exacerbated due to the combined effects of cold weather and pollution.
"As a precautionary measure, she was admitted for further observation and treatment. At present, her condition is absolutely stable. She is responding well to treatment and is being managed with antibiotics and other supportive medications. The decision regarding her discharge will be taken by the treating physicians based on her clinical progress and is likely in a day or two, said Dr Swaroop.
