Washington US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton fractured her right elbow on Thursday, hours after she delivered her first major foreign policy speech on India.

"On the way to the White House late this afternoon, Secretary Clinton fell and suffered a right elbow fracture," her Chief of Staff Cheryl D Mills said.

"She was treated at The George Washington University Hospital before heading home. She will undergo surgery to repair her elbow in the upcoming week," Mills said.

62-year-old Clinton appreciates the professionalism and kindness she received from the medical team who treated her and looks forward to resuming her full schedule soon, Mills said.

During her speech, Clinton said she is looking forward to visit India next month.

I feel very sorry for Mrs. Clinton. It is a shame that older women lacking sufficient calcium are prone to falls and fracturs. I can imagine such an accident would hurt. I plan to send her a get well, email today. I think it was in poor taste for Obama to make jokes about her injury, as described in People Magazine. Even Bush wouldn't joke on such an occasion. Lucky
