Recently in Nepal there has been a growing demand for the resignation of KP Sharma Oli (File)
Kathmandu:
Nepalese Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli was hospitalized Wednesday at the Sahid Gangalal National Heart Center in Kathmandu after complaining of chest pain.
His press adviser, Surya Thapa, tweeted on social media that hospitalization was part of his regular checkups.
Recently in Nepal there has been a growing demand for Mr. Oli to resign.
Oli had previously called for a cabinet meeting after leaders of the ruling Nepalese Communist Party asked to resign on Tuesday. Senior leaders, including Co-Chair Pushpa Kamal Dahal, Madhav Nepal, Jhalanath Khanal and Bamdev Gautam, have asked the Prime Minister to step down, citing his “failure” on various issues.
In late March, Mr. Oli was admitted to the Tribhuwan University Hospital (TUTH) following an increase in heart rate.
Mr. Oli’s doctor, Dr. Dibya Singh, then confirmed that the Prime Minister was being kept under observation at the Manmohan Cardiovascular and Cardio-Thoracic Transplant Center, which is part of TUTH.
“There is an increased risk of COVID-19 infection, so we took him to the hospital as a precaution. His health is normal, there is nothing to worry about,” he said. -she adds.
Earlier in March of this year, the Prime Minister had a new kidney transplant that stopped working last year. Mr. Oli’s niece, Samikshya Sangraula, 32, had then donated his right kidney to the Prime Minister.
Last year, Mr. Oli also traveled to Singapore for plasmapheresis.
