NEW DELHI: External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj, who underwent a kidney transplant three days ago, was today shifted out of the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) at AIIMS here and was recovering well.
The 64-year-old minister is likely to be discharged in another seven to ten days, senior hospital officials said.
“The minister has been shifted out of the ICU to a private ward of the Cardio-Neuro Centre. Her post-surgery recovery is on the expected lines,” AIIMS Director Dr M C Mishra said.
He said her recovery is being closely monitored by a team of transplant surgeons, physicians (endocrinologist, nephrologist, cardiologist and pulmonologist) and anaesthesist besides critical care expert, physiotherapist and transplant specialists.
“She is likely to be discharged in another seven or 10 days,” Mishra added.
Swaraj had undergone a kidney transplant on Saturday with the organ being harvested from a living unrelated donor. (AGENCIES)
