New Delhi, October 31

Former prime minister Manmohan Singh was discharged from AIIMS, New Delhi, on Sunday after 19 days of admission.

The 89-year-old Congress veteran was admitted to AIIMS Cardio Neuro Centre on October 13 after he complained of fever and extreme weakness.

He was undergoing treatment for dengue and his condition steadily improved, sources said.

This was the former PM’s third AIIMS admission in 2021.

Singh was under observation and care of a team of cardiologists led by Dr Nitish Naik of AIIMS.

Dr Naik, a professor of cardiology at AIIMS, has been a personal physician to Singh for years and was part of the panel that looked after Singh when he was prime minister under the Congress led UPA regime from 2004 to 2014.

Singh was first admitted into AIIMS this year in April after testing positive for Covid 19 and later again in May after complaining of uneasiness in the chest.
