The Pakistani girl who was shot in the head by Taliban gunmen is responding well to the treatment, the British hospital where she is being treated said.
According to reports, doctors are impressed with her strength ever since she was airlifted to England for specialized treatment. Meanwhile, a Pakistani official has reportedly told the Associated Press that Malala has began moving her limbs.
According to experts, any progress is hopeful although it is difficult to ascertain what this improvement might mean as the exact nature of Malala's brain injuries still remains unknown. However, it is believed that there is a good chance of recovery because unlike adults, the brains of teenagers are still in the growing phase and it would be faster and easier for them to adapt to trauma.
A spokesman for the Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham said on Wednesday that Malala Yousafzai remained in a stable condition and continued to impress doctors by responding well to her care.
"University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust (UHB) understands there have been reports that Malala's family have travelled to the UK and that they are with her at the hospital. We can clarify that currently the family are still in Pakistan," the hospital said in a statement.
Malala, a strong campaigner for child rights and girls' education, was returning from school when two Taliban gunmen attacked her school bus injuring her and two other classmates.
Malala was shot in her head was treated in a military hospital in Peshawar before being shifted to UK in an air ambulance provided by the United Arab Emirates royal family. She was a strong opponent of the Taliban philosophy ever since they took over the Swat Valley where she lived.
Taliban spokesman Ehsanullah Eshan claimed responsibility for the attack and said it was a well thought over decision to attack the 14-year-old girl for her "Western thinking" against which the militants had warned her family previously.
