Former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh discharged from AIIMS

New Delhi: Former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, who had been admitted to Delhi's AIIMS late on Sunday after complaining of “uneasiness”, was discharged from the hospital on Tuesday, 12 May.

The Congress leader was discharged around 12:30 pm, hospital sources cited by PTI said.

Earlier on Monday, reports said that he was stable and his condition had improved, even as he tested negative for COVID-19.

"Former PM and Congress leader Dr Manmohan Singh was admitted to AIIMS for observation and investigation after he developed febrile reaction to a new medication. He's being investigated to rule out other causes of fever. He's stable and under care at the cardio-thoracic Centre of AIIMS," sources cited by ANI had said on Monday.
