INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
Kathmandu, March 9
Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli, who underwent second kidney transplant at Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital, is likely
to be discharged from the hospital soon.
&The decision to discharge him has not been finalised yet
A meeting to be held tomorrow in the hospital with the medical team of doctors will come up with a final decision,& said a doctor of the PM
medical team.
&PM Oli is feeling better and has started moving around the room
His health is better and his vital signs are sound
The blood parameters are also good,& said Dr Prem Krishna Khadga, executive director of TUTH.
The doctors will also be removing the catheter
— a soft hollow tube which is passed into the bladder to drain urine — soon
&The catheter is usually removed five to six days after surgery
We are planning to remove it,& said the doctor.
The hospital usually discharges patients who undergo kidney transplant on Wednesdays on
Mondays, but in the PM case, the doctors have not done so
&We are keeping him for a few more days
If we discharge him early, he will not be able to take sufficient rest
There is a risk for transmission of infections in kidney transplanted patients
We, therefore, are keeping his for a few more days to prevent all such possible infections,& said Dr Khadga.
Even after he is discharged
from the hospital, he should avoid taking excessive work load
He should also avoid travelling for the time being and should not attend any meetings, according to doctors.
Till now, no one has been
allowed to meet the prime minister
&We have not allowed anyone to meet him except doctors and the medical team involved in his treatment,& said
The post PM recovering well,
likely to be discharged soon appeared first on The Himalayan Times.
