Indonesia’s Suharto leaves hospital for home

JAKARTA (Reuters) – Indonesia’s ailing former strongman
president Suharto left his hospital sick bed for home on
Wednesday after being treated for nearly a month due to
internal bleeding.

Suharto, who turns 85 next week, underwent several
operations to treat the bleeding in his digestive system and
other complications, and had been in critical condition for
several weeks.

Djoko Rahardjo, the chief of the medical team at Jakarta’s
Pertamina hospital, said Suharto’s condition had improved in
recent days after the operations.
