Former Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh has been admitted to All India Institute of Medical Sciences AIIMS after he complained chest pain.
Dr.Singh is under medical observation and the best medicos are attending him. He should be out of danger very soon, said sources at AIIMS
He was admitted in the hospital at 8.40pm and has been kept under observation at the cardio-thoracic ward.
The 87-year-old has been admitted to a hospital room and not to the ICU (Intensive Care Unit). He was admitted under Dr Nitish Naik, a professor of cardiology at the AIIMS.
“All his parameters are fine. He is under observation at the AIIMS,” a source close to him said, adding that he was taken to the hospital after he felt “uneasiness”.
The former PM has had health concerns earlier too. He underwent heart-bypass surgery at AIIMS in 2009, in which five grafts – channels to bypass blocked arteries – were implanted in a surgery that too over 10 hours.
In May 2008, he had undergone a cataract operation, and in September, 2007, he had a prostate surgery. He also underwent a bypass in the United Kingdom in 1991.
