Doctors Say Illa Could Return to Duty Sooner as Recovery Accelerates

Hospital leaders say his swift recovery makes an earlier return plausible.

Overview

  • The Vall d'Hebron director reports Salvador Illa now moves with a single crutch after being discharged last Friday to continue treatment at home.
  • Latest laboratory tests show diminishing signs of inflammation and infection following his pubic osteomyelitis diagnosis.
  • The standard recovery horizon remains eight weeks, yet clinicians say his progress could allow an earlier resumption of presidential activity.
  • He continues intravenous antibiotics at home, with a potential switch to oral medication to be decided by the medical team.
  • Official trips are expected to wait, while day-to-day governance continues through regular briefings with conseller Albert Dalmau.
