With his house now transformed into an intensive-card ward, Nelson Mandela has been discharged from hospital and moved by ambulance to his home in a Johannesburg suburb where he remains in critical condition.
The 95-year-old anti-apartheid hero is still sometimes slipping into “unstable” condition, needing medical intervention to revive him, but his entire medical team will now continue to care for him at his home, an official South African statement said.
A report in a South African newspaper on Sunday said the Mandela family and its doctors had decided that “it is now time for Mandela to be moved home to see out his final days.”
Mr. Mandela, the first democratically elected president of South Africa, was rushed to a Pretoria hospital on June 8 with a lung infection and continued to deteriorate for weeks afterward. Officials said in July that his condition was beginning to improve, but he remained in critical condition and sometimes needed intervention to stabilize him.
