Congress chief Sonia Gandhi has been again admitted to Sir Ganga Ram Hospital for a medical check-up, two days after she was discharged following treatment for illness and a shoulder injury. She had visited the hospital on Thursday for removal of her stitches from the surgery. Sources, however, said she was admitted again last evening, for “routine” medical check-up.
According to Dr SP Byotra, vice-chairman (Board Management) of the hospital, Sonia Gandhi has been admitted to Sir Ganga Ram Hospital for a minor treatment procedure as per the previous plan. “She is doing well and undergoing physiotherapy and rehabilitation,” said Byotra.
“She is likely to stay at the hospital for a couple of days At the time of her discharge from the hospital last week, doctors had said that she was likely to revisit the hospital for further evaluation of her condition. So, she is here for that,” said a hospital source.
The 69-year-old leader was admitted to the hospital on August 3 after being taken ill during a roadshow in Varanasi. She was discharged on August 14 and doctors treating her at the hospital had then said she had recovered from her illness and injury to the left shoulder and was stable.
She was admitted under the care of Arup Basu, senior consultant, Department of Pulmonology and Chest Medicine and his team. She was operated upon for a shoulder injury by Prateek Gupta.
