Sonia Gandhi, Chairperson of the Congress Parliamentary Party, was admitted to Sir Ganga Ram Hospital in Delhi on Sunday evening, June 15, 2025, after experiencing a stomach-related issue. The hospital has confirmed that she is currently under observation in the gastroenterology unit.
According to sources, the 78-year-old leader's condition prompted immediate medical attention. A team of doctors is closely monitoring her health, though an official medical bulletin has not yet been released. This recent hospitalization follows a routine check-up in Shimla last week, where she was treated for high blood pressure.
Earlier this year, in February 2025, Sonia Gandhi was also admitted to Sir Ganga Ram Hospital for similar stomach-related concerns. Her stay at the time was brief, with doctors specializing in gastroenterology attending to her needs. These recurring health issues have understandably caused concern among party members and supporters, who are hoping for her swift and complete recovery.
Just a week prior to this hospitalization, on June 7, 2025, Gandhi underwent routine medical tests at the Indira Gandhi Medical College and Hospital in Shimla. She had reported feeling restless, which led doctors to conduct an MRI scan. At the time, Naresh Chauhan, Principal Advisor (Media) to the Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister, stated that she was in stable condition following the examinations.
Sonia Gandhi's medical history includes a trip to the United States in September 2022 for a postponed medical check-up, which had been delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Rahul Gandhi, her son and fellow Congress leader, accompanied her on this trip. Her international medical visit in 2022 caused her to miss a significant portion of the Monsoon Session of Parliament, although she had overseen important organizational changes within the Congress party before departing.
The recent news of Sonia Gandhi's hospitalization has led to an outpouring of concern and well-wishes from across the political spectrum. Party members and supporters are particularly anxious, given her previous health challenges. The hospital's statement indicating that she is under close observation in the gastroenterology department provides some reassurance, but further updates on her condition are eagerly awaited. News outlets are expected to provide updates as they become available.
