Italy’s former Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi is out of intensive care, where he was being treated for chronic leukemia since April 5.
His health is “constantly improving,” his doctors Alberto Zangrillo and Fabio Ciceri said in a medical update Sunday evening, according to Italian newswire ANSA.
Berlusconi, 86, will remain in the hospital.
The former PM, who is currently a senator and leader of the right-wing Forza Italia party — a partner in Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni’s coalition government — has been in and out of hospital in recent weeks.
He was first admitted to the San Raffaele hospital in Milan on March 27 for routine medical checks and was discharged three days later.
He was then taken into intensive care in the cardiac unit of the same hospital a few days later, on April 5, after suffering from “breathlessness.”
