Jakarta – Ailing former Indonesian President Suharto has been found well enough to return home, but it was uncertain whether he would leave soon or later in the week, the head of his team of doctors said.

"There is no certainty on Pak Harto's return. It hasn't been decided whether he's returning today or tomorrow, but he could ... It's up to the family. His condition is good," Ibrahim Ginting, the team chief, told reporters at Pertamina Hospital.

Suharto, 78, was rushed back to Pertamina Hospital on Saturday with intestinal bleeding, less than a month after being admitted there for 10 days treatment after suffering a mild stroke.

The stroke, which affected his right side and left him with slightly slurred speech, was unrelated to the bleeding, Ginting had said earlier.

Doctors ran gamma and beta-ray tests on the former strongman on Tuesday to check his digestive system. Ginting said the scan showed the bleeding had stopped.

Suharto has lived quietly in his heavily-guarded Jakarta home since he stepped down last year following riots and calls for reform.

Reformists have clamored for him to be brought to court for allegedly amassing a fortune during his 32 years in office, charges he denies.
