Chennai: Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J. Jayalalithaa may be discharged from Apollo Hospital in less than 15 days, a senior AIADMK leader said on Monday.
"In less than 15 days she might be discharged. All her vital parameters are under control. She is being given physiotherapy exercises," said AIADMK spokesperson C. Ponnaiyan.
Queried about the decision to shift Ms Jayalalithaa from the critical care unit (CCU) to a private room, he said: "The difference between the two is the existence of emergency equipments."
Asked about Apollo Hospitals Chairman Pratap C. Reddy's statement that Ms Jayalalithaa was fully cured and it was up to her to decide when to go home, Mr Ponnaiyan said everybody wanted Ms Jayalalithaa to return home as a completely fit person.
"At home she is the master. Further she may get back into the thick of things and as a result there may be some strain which is not there in the hospital now," Mr Ponnaiyan explained.
According to Mr Ponnaiyan, nobody - barring doctors, physiotherapists and nurses - were allowed inside the CCU where Ms Jayalalithaa was warded.
Ms Jayalalithaa was admitted to the hospital in September with fever and infection.
