Ahmed Patel’s health improving: Daughter

New Delhi, November 19

Senior Congress leader and party treasurer Ahmed Patel, who had tested positive for COVID-19, is much better than before and his health has been improving, his daughter has confirmed on Thursday.

“He is significantly better and he is stable but the treatment is going to take a long time. We do hope he recovers well enough to talk you all personally. Please keep praying for him and thanks for your wishes and thoughts,” said his daughter Mumtaz.

Patel was admitted in Gurugram’s Medanta hospital after his condition deteriorated following COVID-19 infection in October.

In a tweet on Sunday, his son Faisal Patel said his father had tested positive for COVID-19 a few weeks ago and “has now been admitted to the Intensive Care Unit of Medanta Hospital, Gurgaon, for further treatment” (sic.).

“…His condition is stable and he continues to be under medical observation. We will provide you updates from this handle. We request you to pray for his speedy recovery.” Congress leaders have wished Patel a speedy recovery.

“I wish Ahmed Patelji a speedy and complete recovery at the earliest. The party needs his able guidance every step of the way,” Rahul Gandhi tweeted on Monday. IANS
