Turkish president waves as he exits the Hacettepe Hospital in Ankara. President Gül uploaded this photo on his Twitter account.

Turkish President Abdullah Gül took to Twitter to thank all the health personnel who helped him recover from a recurring ear infection, writing that he was "very well" after being discharged from hospital yesterday.
 
"I am very well. I want to thank all the personnel from Hacettepe University Hospital and the Presidential health unit staff for all their efforts," Gül wrote, while also extending his gratitude to all the people who stood by him with their love and prayers. 

Gül had been undergoing treatment at Ankara's Hacettepe University Hospital after a recurring ear infection forced the Turkish leader to cut short an official trip to Kyrgyzstan and return to Ankara last week. 
 
The head of state was discharged from hospital yesterday following the completion of treatment requiring hospitalization. The president had been updating supporters on his condition throughout his stay using Twitter.
