Senior Maharashtra leader and Nationalist Congress Party (Sharadchandra Pawar) president Sharad Pawar was admitted to hospital on Monday, February 9, after his health deteriorated due to complaints of chest discomfort and persistent cough.
Pawar, 85, was admitted to Ruby Hall Clinic in Pune, where he is currently under medical observation and has been reported to be stable. His daughter and Baramati Lok Sabha MP Supriya Sule shared an official health update on Tuesday.
Sule said Pawar’s condition has improved compared to the previous day. She stated that he is currently on antibiotics, which will continue for the next four days. According to her, apart from the cough, there are no serious health concerns at present and all other medical parameters are normal.
She expressed gratitude to well-wishers for their prayers and also thanked the medical team treating him.
Earlier on Monday night, Pawar’s grandson and MLA Rohit Pawar had also provided an update on his condition. He said detailed medical examinations were conducted at Ruby Hall Clinic and that Pawar does not require any external oxygen support.
According to Rohit Pawar, Sharad Pawar has not been admitted to the intensive care unit and is resting in a private room at the hospital. He added that a decision on whether treatment will continue in Pune or whether Pawar will be shifted to Mumbai will be taken after medical reports are reviewed.
