Prime Minister (PM) KP Sharma Oli has been discharged from the hospital on Friday after five days of treatment. He has been discharged after completing antibiotics course and making a full recovery.
He was admitted at the Manmohan Cardiothoracic Vascular and Transplant Center inside the Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital (TUTH) premises at four Monday morning following chest infection and high blood glucose level.
A team of doctors including Chief of Cardiology Department Dr Arun Sayami, PM Oli's personal doctor Divya Singhand pulmonologist Dr Santa Kumar Das were attending to him.
PM Oli has been ill since the end of Dashain. He missed the tea party organized by CPN at Bhrikuti Mandap last Saturday due to health problems. He was advised rest for three days but he attended the Sunday’s Cabinet meeting albeit for just 10 minutes. The meeting was earlier scheduled for Friday but was postponed in the eleventh hour apparently due to his poor health.
PM Oli had a kidney transplant 11 years ago and uses immunosuppressants to ensure that his immune system does not attack the foreign organ. A minor infection can have serious implications due to the compromised immune system. He has been going to Bangkok, Thailand for routine check-ups in recent years.
