Salam Discharged from Hospital

Prime Minister-designate Tammam Salam left the hospital on Monday after he was treated for a stomach virus, the state-run National News Agency reported.

NNA said Salam was discharged from the American University of Beirut Medical Center on Monday morning following a one-day treatment.

He thanked all those who telephoned him and visited him to inquire about his health, including President Michel Suleiman, Speaker Nabih Berri, Caretaker Premier Najib Miqati and al-Mustaqbal movement leader ex-PM Saad Hariri.

The PM-designate will resume his official functions after a two-day rest at his residence, NNA said.

Radio Voice of Lebanon (100.5) said that Salam had fainted when he was offering condolences at a residence in the Beirut neighborhood of Verdun, which required transferring him to the hospital on Sunday.
