Why Is Sonia Gandhi Being Hospitalised Again? Her Repeated Delhi Admissions Raise Concerns

New Delhi (Delhi) [India], June 15: Sonia Gandhi, aged 78, was once again admitted to Delhi’s Sir Ganga Ram Hospital for stomach issues. This is not her first visit this year for the same health problem. She is under observation in the gastroenterology department. Her repeated admissions have left many wondering what’s truly going on. When political leaders, especially someone as senior as Sonia Gandhi, fall sick, it attracts national attention and public concern.

Health Check in Shimla a Few Days Ago

Earlier this month, Sonia Gandhi had also gone to Indira Gandhi Medical College in Shimla after she felt uneasy at her Chharabra residence. Doctors there said her blood pressure was slightly above normal, but she was declared stable. Even Chief Minister Sukhu had cut his travel short to check on her. This shows how important she remains to both her party and the state machinery.

Recurring Medical Issues Over the Years

This was not the first time Sonia Gandhi faced such health concerns. In February, she had again visited the same Delhi hospital for a stomach-related issue and stayed under observation. Her team and doctors have usually described her condition as stable. In 2022, she even flew to the United States for a medical consultation that had been delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Private Life in Shimla and Its Peaceful Setting

Sonia Gandhi often chooses to stay at her private residence in Chharabra, Shimla. The house is located near the Rashtrapati Niwas, surrounded by calm views and colonial-style designs. This peaceful location perhaps gives her some relief from the fast-paced political life. However, when health becomes a concern, even peaceful locations cannot stop urgent hospital visits.

The Impact of Her Health on Politics

Sonia Gandhi’s health isn’t just her personal matter—it affects the Congress Party and Parliament too. Her illness has led to her missing many important sessions and events. The fact that she continues to guide the party despite these health problems shows her dedication. But repeated hospital visits now raise bigger questions: Is the Congress prepared for a future without her? What comes next?
