Nepal PM KP Sharma Oli Admitted To Kathmandu Hospital For Kidney Re-Transplant

Nepal Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli on Monday was admitted to a government hospital in Kathmandu for second kidney transplantation procedure later in the week. Oli, 67, underwent kidney transplant in India in 2007 after both his kidneys failed to function.

Earlier in the day, Prime Minister Narendra Modi wished a successful surgery and speedy recovery to his Nepalese counterpart.

“My dear friend @kpsharmaoli  ji, wishing you a successful surgery and a speedy recovery. May Lord Pashupatinath bless you always with good health, happiness and a very long life. Look forward to your continued contribution to taking India-Nepal relations to new heights,” Modi tweeted.
