Kathmandu, May 23
Preparations are underway to take ailing Rastrakabi Madhav Prasad Ghimire to Medanta Hospital of New Delhi for further treatment on Wednesday.
The 99-year-old poet is undergoing treatment at Tokha-based Grande International Hospital in Kathmandu for last 12 days. Though he has experienced minor improvement in past few days, his internal bleeding has not stopped and the doctors have suggested that he be taken abroad.
Therefore, he will be taken to the sophisticated health facility tonight, according to the family.
Whereas Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli has already assured that the government would cover all costs for his treatment, the Nepal Army is also assisting Ghimire.
It has been learned that Ghimire will fly to the Indian capital from the Tribhuvan International Airport at around 5 pm today. He will be accompanied by a Nepal Army doctor.
Perhaps the most revered living litterateur of the country, he is suffering from multiple health issues including related to heart, kidney and lung for last four months.
