The U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has officially resumed her official duties Monday, five days after being released from a hospital for treatment of a blood clot, the State Department said.
The secretary was released from New York Presbyterian Hospital last Wednesday, after a stay of several days during which she was given blood thinners to treat the clot in a vein behind her right ear.
She has been resting at home in New York since then.
Clinton has suffered a series of ailments over the last month, including a stomach virus and a concussion.
Her doctors have said they expect her to make a full recovery.
The State Department said Clinton has been keeping up with her work by talking to her staff and receiving memos.
Her first White House meeting this week will take place on Tuesday and include Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta and national security adviser Tom Donilon, the State Department said.
