As of this morning, former President Nelson Mandela has traded in his hospital bed for home! Mandela was discharged from Pretoria hospital where he has been receiving treatment.
Mandela has been in the hospital since June 8, 2013, where his condition consistently bounced from critical to serious to unstable. Thanks to great medical teams and all their efforts, he is ready to embark on a journey toward wellness outside of the hospital setting. The former president has had the full support of family and friends who visited often.
Though he has left the hospital, his condition remains critical and can sometimes be unstable. However, doctors believe he will receive the same level of care at his home in Johannesburg. His home has been set up to allow for the best possible at-home care by the same personnel who have been treating him since the beginning.
The former president has been responsive to care thus far.
We wish him the best and hope for a full recovery!
