Sushma Swaraj Discharged From AIIMS After 3 Weeks

Sushma Swaraj was admitted to AIIMS with complaints of chest congestion and fever.

New Delhi: External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj was today discharged from AIIMS nearly three weeks after she was admitted to the hospital with complaints of chest congestion and fever.

AIIMS director MC Mishra said Ms Swaraj was discharged after a group of doctors today examined her and found her to be fit.

"Swaraj was being treated for pneumonia and the infection had also caused mild renal impairment. She was treated by a group of specialists and was discharged after the doctors declared her fit," Mr Mishra said.

The 64-year-old Union minister was admitted to AIIMS on April 25. She was undergoing treatment in the Cardio-Neuro Centre of the hospital.

The doctors had earlier said that it was likely that she contracted the infection due to extreme temperatures during her travels.
