Kolkata : Former West Bengal chief minister and veteran Marxist leader Jyoti Basu, recovering from a head injury, was released from hospital Tuesday evening, hospital officials said.
“Basu has been released from the hospital at 5.10 p.m. Tuesday. His health condition is stable,” said AMRI Hospitals vice-president S. Upadhyay here.
Basu will be under domiciliary care under a team of doctors comprising of a neurologist, a cardiologist and a geriatrician, who will regularly supervise and monitor his health at his residence.
The 94-year-old leader suffered “internal haemorrhage in the head” after he fell in the bathroom of his Salt Lake home early Sep 5.
He underwent a CT scan a day after his fall and was advised hospitalisation. He also received stitches on his forehead. A second CT scan was done on him earlier last week.
Basu was the West Bengal chief minister from 1977 to 2000.
