New Delhi, March 25

Congress Parliamentary Party chairperson Sonia Gandhi was admitted to Sir Ganga Ram Hospital in the national capital last night, hospital authorities said on Wednesday.

Sir Ganga Ram Hospital Chairman Dr Ajay Swaroop said that the veteran leader was admitted at around 10:22 PM and was currently in stable condition. He said doctors were conducting investigations for a possible stomach and urinary tract infection, and a team was closely monitoring her condition while administering antibiotics.

"Sonia Gandhi (Congress Parliamentary Party leader) was admitted to Sir Ganga Ram Hospital on Tuesday at 10:22 PM. She is stable. Doctors are conducting further investigations to check for possible infection in the stomach and urinary tract. A team of doctors is closely monitoring her condition, and antibiotics have been administered," Dr Swaroop said.

Gandhi was admitted after experiencing respiratory issues at Sir Ganga Ram Hospital. Ajay Swaroop said that following a detailed medical examination, Sonia Gandhi's bronchial asthma was mildly exacerbated by the combined effects of cold weather and prevailing pollution levels in Delhi.

As a precautionary measure, doctors decided to admit her for observation and further medical management.

The veteran leader was also admitted last year in June due to stomach-related issues. She was kept under observation at the hospital's gastro department.

Before this, in the same month, Gandhi was admitted to Indira Gandhi Medical College and Hospital in Himachal Pradesh's Shimla on June 7.

The CPP chairperson was brought in for a routine health check-up due to some minor health issues, according to Naresh Chauhan, Principal Advisor (Media) to the Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister.

The doctors examined her health condition and informed that she was in stable condition.

It's concerning to see a senior leader facing health issues repeatedly. Sir Ganga Ram is a good hospital, so she's in capable hands. Hope the investigations go well and she's back home soon.

Health comes first, regardless of politics. Get well soon, Sonia Gandhi ji. The combination of Delhi winter and pollution is brutal for asthma patients. My mother suffers from it too.

While I wish her a quick recovery, this news also highlights the frequent health issues our senior politicians face. Perhaps it's time for a broader discussion on a smoother succession planning process within parties, for stability.

Stable condition is good news. UTIs and stomach infections can be quite uncomfortable, especially for someone her age. Hope the antibiotics work quickly.

She has been through so much in her life. Wishing her strength. It's wise that the doctors are keeping her under observation. Better safe than sorry.
