Kathmandu, August 3
Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli today left for Singapore for a routine health check-up. His health check-up will be done at National University Hospital.
PM’s Secretariat team member Chetan Adhikari said the prime minister was going for a regular check-up. The PM will return on August 9. Doctors attending the PM had referred him to National University Hospital in Singapore for routine health check-up. An ultrasound-guided renal biopsy was conducted a few days ago on PM Oli to test the functioning of his kidneys. His other medical tests, including electrocardiogram are normal.
There were traces of protein in his urine. He had heart palpitations and fluctuating blood sugar.
“He is going to Singapore not because he is sick, but because he has to undergo a routine check-up,” said Kundan Aryal, PM Oli’s press adviser. He will undergo necessary medical tests, said Aryal.
He is accompanied by his wife Radhika Shakya, Oli’s personal doctor Dr Dibya Singh Shah, his Chief Adviser Bishnu Rimal, Personal Secretary Rajesh Bajracharya and other members of the team.
PM Oli, who underwent kidney transplant in 2007 in New Delhi, has regularly undergone routine health check-ups in foreign countries, including New Delhi. Oli had undergone treatment at the Singapore-based hospital where he was treated for an infectious swelling in his right hand in 2014. He had also undergone health check-up at Bumrungrad International Hospital in Bangkok.
