Congress leader Sonia Gandhi was admitted to Sir Ganga Ram Hospital in New Delhi, according to sources on Tuesday. The 79-year-old political figure, who celebrated her birthday in December 2025, is reported to be doing fine and is currently under the observation of a chest physician at the medical facility.

Hospital sources have clarified that this is a routine admission for the former Congress president. They explained that she has a pre-existing condition of chronic cough and undergoes periodic check-ups, a precaution that has become more frequent given the high levels of pollution in the national capital. “It is a routine admission, but she has this problem of chronic cough, and she keeps coming for check-ups, especially with this pollution in the city,” a source stated, confirming that she was admitted on Monday evening. The admission is thus characterised as a preventive and monitoring measure rather than an emergency, with her condition described as stable. No further details regarding the duration of her hospital stay or specific treatment plans were immediately disclosed by the sources cited.
