King Abdullah's health is improving and he should soon return to Saudi Arabia from the United States where he underwent back surgery, his daughter said in comments published Wednesday.
"The king's health is constantly improving. He has been attending physiotherapy sessions and will return to the country when he has completed his treatment," Princess Adelah told Saudi daily al-Watan, speaking on the margins of a women's conference at Riyadh's King Saud University.
The king, who is about 86 years old, flew to New York on November 22 and was operated on two days later for a debilitating herniated disc complicated by a haematoma that put pressure on his spine.
That surgery was declared a success, as was a second operation to repair several vertebrae.
