Indian Prime Minister (PM) Narendra Modi has wished for successful kidney transplant of his Nepali counterpart KP Sharma Oli.
"My dear friend @kpsharmaoli ji, wishing you a successful surgery and a speedy recovery. May Lord Pashupatinath bless you always with good health, happiness and a very long life. Look forward to your continued contribution to taking India-Nepal relations to new heights," Modi has tweeted Monday morning.
PM Oli will have second kidney transplant at the Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital (TUTH) on Wednesday.
He will be admitted at the TUTH Monday evening.
Oli, whose transplanted kidney has stopped functioning, is on regular dialysis in recent times. He underwent plasmapheresis seven times in Singapore in August 2019.
Plasmapheresis is a term used to refer to a broad range of procedures through which blood components are filtered outside the body. It was done on PM Oli, who had a kidney transplant 12 years ago in New Delhi, to remove antibodies for immunosuppression.
