Sharad Pawar discharged after treatment for chest infection

Pawar leaves hospital in stable condition

NCP (SP) chief Sharad Pawar was discharged from Mumbai’s Breach Candy Hospital on Saturday after treatment for a bronchitis attack and chest infection, according to multiple reports. His treating doctor said the 85-year-old leader was responding well, his condition had improved, and he was stable enough to continue recovery at his residence.

Pawar had spent three days at Breach Candy Hospital. He was admitted after persistent cough and respiratory symptoms and had been placed under medical observation. Doctors reported that Pawar was responding well and improving, and advised continued medication, standard precautions and additional instructions because of his age.

Treatment continues at home

Dr Pratit Samdani, who treated Pawar at Breach Candy Hospital, said Pawar's bronchitis and chest infection were improving when he was discharged in a stable condition. The doctor said Pawar would continue treatment at home and take precautions appropriate for his condition, adding that the medical team expected him to comply with the advice.

Pawar had first been admitted to Pune’s Ruby Hall Clinic on November 2 and was discharged from there on November 4. He was then admitted to Breach Candy Hospital the same day for further assessment and treatment.

Political attention remained focused on recovery

Political attention centered on Pawar during his hospital stay. Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde said Pawar was recovering well and that his medical parameters were normal. Other visitors reported by the news outlets included Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, NCP leaders Praful Patel and Chhagan Bhujbal, Congress MLA Vishwajeet Kadam, Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut and industrialist Gautam Adani.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi also spoke with Pawar by telephone and advised him to rest before resuming his activities. Some reports also said Uddhav Thackeray was expected to visit him, but that visit was not confirmed in the reviewed material.

Recovery is the next observable milestone

The next verifiable measure is Pawar’s progress under home-based care. The available reports do not provide a scheduled follow-up date or a more detailed clinical forecast, so the confirmed position remains that he was discharged in stable condition with treatment continuing at home.
