The former Congress president had arrived in the hill town on a personal visit on Monday, accompanied by her daughter Priyanka Gandhi Vadra. The two are currently staying at Priyanka’s residence in Chharabra, on the outskirts of Shimla.
This is not the first time in recent months that Gandhi has undergone medical attention. In February, she was admitted to Delhi’s Sir Ganga Ram Hospital for stomach-related issues.
Sonia Gandhi's health history
Congress Parliamentary Party Chairperson Sonia Gandhi has faced a series of health-related events in recent years. A few months ago, she was admitted to Sir Ganga Ram Hospital in Delhi for a stomach-related issue. Her February hospitalisation lasted one day, during which she was under the supervision of a gastroenterology specialist.
Earlier, in September 2022, Gandhi travelled to the United States for a deferred medical check-up — a visit that had been postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. She was accompanied by her son, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, during that trip.
As a result of her US visit, she missed a significant portion of the Monsoon Session of Parliament in 2022. Notably, just prior to her departure, she had overseen a major organisational restructuring within the Congress party.
News of her international medical trip was confirmed by Congress leader Randeep Surjewala, who expressed gratitude on social media for the public’s concern and well-wishes.
