New Delhi [India], March 27 : Congress Parliamentary Party Chairperson Sonia Gandhi's condition has improved, with doctors optimistic that she will be discharged from Sir Ganga Ram Hospital within the next day or two, according to a hospital official.
Dr. Ajay Swaroop, Chairman of Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, confirmed that the 79-year-old leader, who was admitted late on March 24, is recovering well.
"Mrs Sonia Gandhi is much better. She is showing medical improvement and is comfortable. She is walking around and has taken her breakfast. Overall, her progress is smooth, and we hope that she will be fit to be discharged within a day or two," he said.
The hospital had previously mentioned that Gandhi is receiving antibiotic treatment for a systemic infection and is responding well to the therapy.
"Sonia Gandhi was admitted to Sir Ganga Ram Hospital on the night of March 24 for fever. She is being treated with antibiotics for a systemic infection under the supervision of Dr. D.S. Rana, Dr. S.
