KATHMANDU: The Dhapasi-based Grande Hospital where  Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli undergoing treatment for kidney-related ailments has refused to disclose detailed information about the prime minister’s health condition.

Issuing a press statement, the hospital only said that the prime minister’s health condition was normal and he will be discharged today.

Earlier during a press meet, the hospital refused to divulge information on the findings of medical tests carried out on PM Oli undergoing treatment at the hospital since Wednesday.

Speaking at the press meet, Hospital’s Director Chakraraj Pandey said that the details can’t be revealed considering the right to privacy of the patient.

“Dialysis is a normal process. There is no need to worry. We will make sure that his privacy will not be breached while informing about his health condition,” he said during the press meet.

PM Oli was admitted to the hospital on Wednesday. Oli visited the Dhapasi-based hospital for a health check-up at 9 am.

Earlier on October 19, he was taken to the same hospital for various tests.

Prime Minister Oli had also on September 11 visited the Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital (TUTH) and got a catheter removed from his neck that was inserted in PM Oli’s neck when he underwent plasmapheresis at the Singapore-based National University Hospital.

Plasmapheresis is a process in which unhealthy plasma is taken out and fresh plasma is transfused into the patient.

It should be recalled that PM Oli was admitted to the National University Hospital in August.

He had on August 12 returned from Singapore after his health check-up in the hospital. He had gone back for further treatment to the same hospital on August 22.

Prime Minister Oli had undergone a kidney transplant surgery some 12 years ago.
