Senior AIIMS sources told The Hindu that Ms. Swaraj is under treatment from a special team of medical personnel who are all “treating her.”
“Her transplant test is going on. It will take a week or two weeks at least because they are also trying to find out donors,” the source said.
Sushma Swaraj is an Indian politician who formerly served as a Supreme Court lawyer and she is the current Minister of External Affairs of India, a position she has held since May 26, 2014.
