President Ramchandra Paudel left for India for treatment on Wednesday.

Kiran Pokharel, the press adviser to the President, informed that the President was airlifted to India on a chartered flight of Shree Airlines along with a medical team. President Paudel will undergo treatment at AIIMS in the Indian Capital New Delhi.

Paudel was admitted to TU Teaching Hospital on Tuesday after complaining of shortness of breath. This is the second time this month that Paudel has been admitted to the hospital.

On Tuesday, Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal, and Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Defense Purna Bahadur Khadka, among other leaders, visited him to inquire about his health condition.

Last week, the President complained of pain in his stomach. A Cabinet meeting on Tuesday decided to deploy a team of government officials, led by the health secretary, to facilitate his treatment. The team will assess the nature of the President’s illness and report to the government, a minister said. Further decisions on the President’s treatment will be taken after the team submits its report.
