Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli on Wednesday visited Shahid Gangalal National Heart Center in Bansbari for his heart check-up.
Oli’s press adviser Surya Thapa said that the prime minister visited the hospital for a routine heart check-up.
Earlier in the day, Oli held a meeting with party leaders and Cabinet members regarding the recent political developments. He then participated in the ongoing Standing Committee meeting of the party and later attended the Parliament meeting.
Oli had undergone a second kidney transplant on March 4 at the Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital. On March 26, the prime minister was admitted to the Manmohan Cardiothoracic Vascular and Transplant Centre for an increased heart rate. He was discharged a day later.
Oli, who is 69, had his first kidney transplant in 2007 in New Delhi, but his health started to deteriorate in September-October last year, when his transplanted kidney began to show symptoms of dysfunction.
He was then immediately put under regular dialysis regime. Doctors had planned for a second kidney transplant on Oli, but the surgery had to be postponed as he had to undergo an appendectomy in November 2019.
