"Over the past four days, responses to treatment have made it possible to achieve a stable clinical picture, characterised by an optimal and convincing recovery of organ function," a Wednesday medical bulletin signed by Professor Alberto Zangrillo, San Raffaele's ICU chief and Berlusconi's personal physician, and head blood cancer physician Fabio Ciceri, stated.
Eighty-six-year-old Berlusconi was admitted to the intensive care unit at San Raffaele hospital on April 5 for treatment for a lung infection linked to chronic leukemia.
He was subsequently transferred to a regular ward on April 16.
Berlusconi has endured a range of health issues in recent years, having suffered serious heart problems, and in 2020 was admitted to the same hospital, in critical condition, for treatment of COVID-19.
Members of his Forza Italia party have expressed optimism in the last few days that he might be well enough to participate, either in person, or more likely, remotely, at a big party rally on May 5-6 in Milan.
