Overview
- Anbumani Ramadoss underwent an elective knee procedure at Apollo Hospitals on Greams Road in Chennai on Sunday, October 18, 2026.
- The hospital issued a medical bulletin saying he was doing well and was scheduled to be discharged on Monday, October 19, 2026.
- Doctors and the PMK said he has completed treatment, was advised physiotherapy and two weeks of rest, and returned home to recuperate.
- Apollo Hospitals did not disclose specific clinical details about the knee condition or the exact operation performed, citing patient privacy.
- Ramadoss is the Pattali Makkal Katchi president, a Rajya Sabha MP elected unopposed in March 2026, and his routine recovery reduces the immediate chance of political disruption though supporters will monitor his return to duties.
