Mr Mandela’s discharge this morning from Pretoria’s Mediclinic Heart Hospital comes a day after confusion in the Mandela family over whether the 95-year-old former president had in fact been sent home.
Mr
Mandela, whose condition is described as “critical" and "at times
unstable," was admitted to hospital June 8 suffering from a recurring
lung infection.
His
home in the upscale Houghton neighbourhood of Johannesburg, already
fitted with a hospital-like clinic, has been reconfigured to allow him
to receive intensive care there, according to the statement issued by
South African President Jacob Zuma’s spokesman.
Mr
Mandela’s doctors “are convinced that he will receive the same level of
intensive care at his Houghton home that he received in Pretoria.” “If
there are health conditions that warrant another admission to hospital
in future, this will be done,” the statement said.
