What happen to Sonia Gandhi?

According to Sir Ganga Ram Hospital Chairman Dr Ajay Swaroop, Congress Parliamentary Party (CPP) chairperson Sonia Gandhi was admitted to the hospital at around 10:22 PM and was currently in stable condition.
 
Ajay Swaroop said that Sonia Gandhi is being examined for potential stomach and urinary tract infections. 

He also said that Gandhi's condition remains stable as antibiotics are being administered as part of her ongoing treatment.

What did the hospital say in the statement?

Ajay Swaroop in the statement said that, "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."

What did doctors say after examining?

Ajay Swaroop said that after a detailed medical examination, 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.

Has she been hospitalised before?

Sonia Gandhi has visited or been admitted to hospitals in the past for health checks and treatment.

The veteran leader was also admitted in January this year after experiencing some difficulty in breathing.

In mid-2025, she was in Sir Ganga Ram Hospital for stomach-related issues and received care before being discharged in stable condition. She was placed in the gastroenterology department, where a team of specialists watched her health and treatment.

Just days before that, she was at a hospital in Shimla for tests after reporting discomfort and experiencing high blood pressure. These visits were all part of ongoing health monitoring by her medical team. 

In February last year, the 78-year-old leader was also admitted to Delhi’s Sir Ganga Ram Hospital with stomach-related issues.

Her regular health check-ups and occasional admissions are familiar to her circle due to her age and ongoing medical needs.

What has the Congress said so far?

At this time, the Congress party has not issued a detailed comment on her condition.
