Nelson Mandela discharged from hospital

Johannesburg:  Nelson Mandela was discharged from hospital on Sunday though his condition remains critical and is at times unstable, the South African Presidency said.
“Madiba’s (Mandela’s clan name) condition remains critical and is at times unstable. Nevertheless, his team of doctors are convinced that he will receive the same level of intensive care at his Houghton home that he received in Pretoria,” the statement said.

The 95-year-old former democracy hero was hospitalized on June 8 for lung infection and has since been there.

“His home has been reconfigured to allow him to receive intensive care there. The health care personnel providing care at his home are the very same who provided care to him in hospital. If there are health conditions that warrant another admission to hospital in future, this will be done,” the statement said.
