Updated:5 years, 8 months ago

Kathmandu (Nepal), Feb 03 (ANI): Nepal Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli was admitted to a government hospital in Kathmandu on Monday for his second kidney transplant scheduled later in the week. In a brief video address posted on social media before being admitted to Tribhuwan University Teaching Hospital, Oli said he would return to work with new energy and enthusiasm after the kidney transplant. Oli, who turned 69 last week, had last undergone a kidney transplant in India in 2007 after both his kidneys failed to function. Since then, he has travelled abroad on several occasions for health-checkups and underwent multiple rounds of dialysis. The procedure would be carried by the hospital's Urologist and Transplant Surgeon Professor Premraj Gyawali. The procedure is expected to last for about three-to-five hours. Oli is expected to stay at the hospital for about a week depending on his health condition after the transplant. Earlier in the day, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi had wished a successful surgery and speedy recovery to Oli and said he looks forward to his continued contribution to taking India-Nepal relations to new heights.
