Philippine Ambassador to China Sonia Brady was brought to the hospital last Wednesday after suffering from stroke in her residence in Beijing, the Department of Foreign Affairs said Friday.“It has been confirmed that Ambassador Brady suffered a stroke, but she is better now than when she was brought to the hospital last Wednesday,” Hernandez said in a text message.

“Her condition is continuously being monitored,” he added.

A retired career diplomat, Brady, 71, was appointed as envoy to China in May this year at the height of territorial disputes between Manila and Beijing. This is her second tour of duty as envoy to China.

Brady just recovered from a mild stroke before she was asked to take over the post that was left vacant for nearly a year.
