Congress President Sonia Gandhi may be discharged today

Congress president Sonia Gandhi is likely to be discharged on Wednesday from Delhi’s Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, a week after undergoing a shoulder-reconstruction surgery.

A board of specialists created to treat her has reviewed her condition and will take a decision on her discharge in the next 30 minutes . “She is much better now, and the doctors also think she is fit enough to be discharged. They should decide in next half an hour,” said Dr DS Rana, chairman, Sir Ganga Ram



Hospital.

The 69-year-old had dislocated and fractured her left shoulder last week during a road show in Varanasi, a part of the Congress’ poll campaign in Uttar Pradesh.

Mumbai-based Dr Sanjay Desai was flown in for Gandhi’s surgery as he specialises in shoulder reconstruction.

However, since Gandhi suffered from massive electrolyte imbalance and had severe symptoms including acute diarrhoea and vomiting, doctors were waiting for her to regain body strength before discharging her.
