Former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh is stable but is being investigated to rule out causes of fever, a Congress functionary said on Monday, quoting sources in All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS).
“Dr. Manmohan Singh was admitted for observation and investigation after he developed a febrile reaction to a new medication. He is being investigated to rule out other causes of fever and is being provided care as needed,” a source said quoting AIIMS doctors.
A person close to the family confirmed to The Hindu that “Dr. Singh is fine but he will spend the night at the hospital, just to be safe”.
Dr. Singh, who is a Rajya Sabha member from Rajasthan, was admitted to AIIMS around 8.45 p.m. on Sunday night following complaints of reported uneasiness and chest pain.
“He is stable and under care of a team of doctors at the Cardiothoracic Centre of AIIMS,” the party functionary added.
Since Sunday evening, wishes for Dr. Singh’s speedy recovery have poured in.
Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot tweeted, “Much worried to know former PM Dr. Manmohan Singh ji has been admitted to AIIMS. I wish him speedy recovery and pray for his good health and long life”.
Senior Congress leader Ahmed Patel said in a tweet,“Praying for good health of Doctor saheb. We are sure he will be fit and fine at the earliest”.
