Union Health Minister J P Nadda, who is President of AIIMS, visited Swaraj before her discharge and expressed satisfaction about her recovery.
A team of doctors will continue to review Swaraj’s progress over next several weeks, AIIMS Director M C Misra said expressing happiness over her recovery. 64-year-old Swaraj has been advised to restrict visitors for next three months at home and office to minimise the chances of infection.
