New Delhi: Congress Parliamentary Party (CPP) chairperson Sonia Gandhi was on Monday night admitted to Sir Ganga Ram Hospital here after she complained of respiratory discomfort.
She has been diagnosed with bronchial asthma.
The hospital in a statement said that Sonia Gandhi was admitted to Sir Ganga Ram Hospital at around 10:00 p.m. yesterday.
According to Dr. Ajay Swaroop, Chairman, Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, she was experiencing respiratory discomfort, and upon medical examination, it was found that her “bronchial asthma had been mildly exacerbated due to the combined effects of cold weather and pollution”.
“As a precautionary measure, she was admitted for further observation and treatment,” Dr Swaroop said.
The doctor said that at present, her condition is absolutely stable.
“She is responding well to treatment and is being managed with antibiotics and other supportive medications,” Dr Swaroop said.
“The decision regarding her discharge will be taken by the treating physicians based on her clinical progress and is likely in a day or two,” the doctor added.
This is not the first time that Sonia Gandhi had been admitted to the hospital.
