Sonia Gandhi Admitted to Hospital With Respiratory Discomfort
Former Congress president and current Congress Parliamentary Party chairperson Sonia Gandhi was admitted to Sir Ganga Ram Hospital in New Delhi on Monday night after experiencing respiratory discomfort. Hospital officials described the admission as a precautionary medical measure amid respiratory issues that required observation and assessment.
Medical Assessment and Cause
Doctors conducted a detailed medical evaluation and found that Gandhi’s bronchial asthma had been mildly exacerbated, reportedly due to a combination of cold weather and air pollution in the national capital. As a precaution, she was kept under observation and started on supportive treatment, including antibiotics and other medications to manage her symptoms.
Current Health Status
Hospital authorities reported that Sonia Gandhi’s condition is stable and she is responding well to treatment. She remains under medical supervision, and physicians will decide her discharge based on her clinical progress. Officials said there is no cause for alarm and that the admission was precautionary given her medical history.
Political and Public Reaction
News of her hospitalisation drew reactions from political circles, with leaders and party members expressing support and wishing her a speedy recovery. Gandhi, who turned 79 in December, has previously sought medical care for respiratory ailments, particularly during periods of high pollution or weather changes.
Ongoing Monitoring
Hospital sources said that Gandhi continues to be monitored by a team of specialists to ensure her stable recovery. Further updates on her condition or discharge plans will be shared by the hospital as her treatment progresses.
