Kathmandu, May 21
Rastrakabi Madhav Ghimire has been admitted to the Tokha-based Grande International Hospital.
According to the hospital, the health condition of the 99-year-old poet is stable now. He is being treated at the Intensive Care Unit of the hospital. According to doctors, Ghimire suffers from heart, kidney and lung ailments. Doctors have also reported internal bleeding.
“Four pints of blood have already been given but the internal bleeding has not stopped,” informed Ghimire’s son Rajiv.
Ghimire has been unwell for the past few months. This is the seventh time he has been admitted to the hospital.
Doctors have suggested that an endoscopy be carried out. However, due to lack of experts, the hospital is trying to bring doctors from India to look into the case. “We are also looking at the possibility of taking him to Delhi for further treatment,” informed Rajiv.
