Veteran Nationalist Congress Party (NCP-SP) leader Sharad Pawar, who was admitted to Ruby Hall Clinic in Pune on Monday following a chest infection, is stable and recovering well, hospital authorities said on Tuesday.
“His vital parameters are within normal limits and his overall clinical condition is stable and he is recovering well,” said Dr Simon Grant, one of the doctors at the hospital treating Pawar.
Doctors at Ruby Hall Clinic said a CT scan revealed slight congestion in his chest.
“The mild discomfort noted on admission has improved with continued medical treatment. As a precautionary measure, he remains under observation. His treatment is being carried out strictly according to the medical protocols established by the Ruby Hall Clinic, and all investigations are being closely monitored,” Dr Grant said.
Dr Abhijeet Lodha, who is also part of the team, said initial assessment shows Pawar’s heart rate and oxygen levels are stable. He did not need oxygen or a ventilator, he said.
Over the past few days, Pawar and other family members have been meeting people and receiving condolences at Baramati, where the family of late Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar has been staying for the last four-five days. Pawar had joined his nephew, Ajit’s family, in their hour of crisis and held separate meetings with Ajit Pawar’s sons Parth and Jay over plans to set up a grand memorial in their father’s honor at Vidya Pratishthan.
“Due to physical exhaustion and mild respiratory discomfort, he was admitted to Ruby Hall Clinic,” said Rohit Pawar, member of the Maharashtra Legislative Assembly.
