First lady leaves hospital on New Year's Day

The first lady, Ani Yudhoyono, left the Gatot Subroto Army Hospital in Jakarta on Sunday at around 10 a.m. after recovering from her recent condition.

Ani, still looking pale and tired, was helped by her eldest son Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono to walk to a waiting car, metrotvnews.com reported.

Ani, who wore black pants, a blouse and a scarf, responded to journalists’ greetings before leaving for the State Palace.

One of the presidential doctors, Brig. Gen. Aris Wibudi, said Ani had been declared healthy and did not need additional walk-in medical treatment or medical examinations.

He said Ani would need another week of rest before returning to her daily activities. (mtq)
