Berlusconi out of intensive care, hospital confirms

(ANSA) - ROME, APR 17 - Milan's San Raffaele hospital on Monday confirmed reports that Silvio Berlusconi has been moved from its intensive-care unit to an ordinary ward in an update on the ex-premier's condition.
    The move was made possible by a good "response to treatment" said a statement by Professor Alberto Zangrillo, San Raffaele's ICU head and Berlusconi's personal physician, and head blood cancer physician Fabio Ciceri.
    The 86-year-old Forza Italia leader, who was admitted to hospital on April 5 for a lung infection and the sudden worsening of a chronic leukaemia, reportedly left the intensive care unit on Sunday. (ANSA).
