External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj, who is being treated for pneumonia at AIIMS, is recovering and is likely to be discharged from the hospital soon. "Swaraj is recovering from pneumonia and her condition is stable.

Her health condition is being monitored by a team of specialists and she is likely to be discharged soon," said a senior doctor at AIIMS. The doctor said it is likely that she contracted the infection due to extreme temperatures during her travels.

The 64-year-old Union minister was admitted to AIIMS on April 25 after she complained of chest congestion and fever. She is undergoing treatment in the Cardio-Neuro Centre of the hospital.
