Nationalist Congress Party (Sharadchandra Pawar) chief Sharad Pawar health update has brought relief to his supporters as the veteran leader was discharged from Pune's Ruby Hall Clinic on Wednesday morning. After a period of medical observation and a series of examinations, the politician has been cleared to return home.
Medical Clearance and Discharge
Dr. Purvez K Grant, the Chief Cardiologist, Chairman, and Managing Trustee of Ruby Hall Clinic, confirmed the discharge in an official statement. According to the hospital, Mr. Pawar is stable and doing well. Following his release, he traveled directly from the clinic to his residence in Mumbai.
"Mr. Sharad Pawar has been discharged from Ruby Hall Clinic today. He is stable and doing well... We wish him good health and a speedy recovery," the statement read.
Reason for Hospitalization
The veteran politician was admitted to the facility on November 2 after experiencing pleuritic chest pain and a cough. His daughter, Baramati MP and NCP (SP) working president Supriya Sule, had previously informed the public that he was undergoing necessary medical tests and that his health parameters remained stable.
While the hospital kept him under observation as a precautionary measure, the discomfort he was experiencing eventually subsided, leading to his medical clearance.
Satisfactory Reports and Recovery
Vitthal Maniyar, a close family friend of the NCP chief, spoke to reporters to clarify the nature of the ailment. He noted that the admission was triggered by a cough and phlegm encountered two days prior. Maniyar emphasized that all medical reports were satisfactory and there was absolutely no cause for alarm.
"His health is good, and he is not facing any particular difficulty," Maniyar stated, adding that the reports showed nothing concerning.
High-Profile Well-Wishes
The concern for the veteran leader extended to the highest levels of government. Maniyar revealed that Prime Minister Narendra Modi called to inquire about Mr. Pawar's health, wishing him a speedy recovery and mentioning that his presence is needed by everyone.
Maniyar also took the opportunity to thank people across Maharashtra and the rest of the country for their affection and concern, urging party workers and supporters to remain calm and not worry about the leader's health.
It is noteworthy that prior to his admission to the Pune hospital, Sharad Pawar had been active in the field, recently visiting drought-affected regions of Maharashtra.
