Margaret Thatcher Admitted to Hospital

World | December 8, 2005, Thursday // 00:00

Former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher was admitted to hospital after feeling faint late on Wednesday, world media informed. Thatcher, who governed Britain from 1979 to 1990, turned 80 in October and has grown frail in recent years following a series of small strokes. "She has had a number of tests and she will remain in hospital overnight as a precaution. She will be assessed by doctors in the morning," hospital spokesman Mark Purcell said. "Her condition is stable and comfortable and she is now resting." Thatcher has become more reclusive in recent years and given up most public speaking on her doctors' advice, but she remains a powerful force 15 years after leaving office as Britain's first female prime minister.
