Congress chief Sonia Gandhi, who was undergoing treatment at a Delhi hospital for over 10 days after taking ill during a roadshow in Varanasi in Uttar Pradesh, was discharged early this morning.
Doctors at Sir Ganga Ram hospital, where she was admitted on August 3 with fever, dehydration and a shoulder injury, said Mrs Gandhi, 69, had mild fever on Saturday which delayed her discharge.
"Mrs Sonia Gandhi's medical condition at the time of discharge from the hospital is stable. She has been advised rest and continuation of medicines. Mrs Gandhi is likely to visit the hospital for further evaluation of her condition in the coming week," said a top doctor at the hospital.
She underwent a surgery on her left shoulder on August 3 and doctors said she almost recovered from the injury.
Mrs Gandhi was shifted to the Sir Ganga Ram Hospital from the Army Research and Referral Hospital, where she was rushed soon after her arrival from Varanasi around midnight of August 2.
The Congress president had to cut short her roadshow in Varanasi after she was taken ill. She had fractured her left shoulder during the roadshow.
