Sonia Gandhi had been admitted to Sir Ganga Ram Hospital in the national capital in January too after she experienced respiratory issues. Chairman of Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, Ajay Swaroop, had at that time said that a detailed medical examination had revealed that Sonia Gandhi's bronchial asthma had been mildly exacerbated due to the combined effects of cold weather and the pollution level in Delhi.
Owing to this, the doctors had, as a precautionary measure, decided to admit her for observation and further medical management.
“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. At present, her condition is absolutely stable,” Swaroop had said in an official statement. Swaroop had further stated that the senior Congress leader was being managed with antibiotics and other supportive medications.
