The Minister who attended Pre-Christmas Celebration at CM’s Banquet Hall on December 12 quietly slipped off and landed here in ICU of Naga Hospital at about 7 PM. And the next day, he underwent surgery to remove stones from his gallbladder and hardly any VIPs in the state capital knew it. Nienu also disclosed that they got sanctions for setting up of State’s Nursing College and a Paramedical Institution, besides up-gradation of Phek and Kipheri hospitals.
Satisfied with the medical facilities and services rendered to him by doctors and nurses during his stay in the ICU, Naga Hospital, the Minister sent out a clear message to all especially the VIPs, who often went for outside treatment at high cost, to do it here in the State.
“It is high time to have confidence in our own doctors and nurses at home,” he said. “We need not go for outside treatment, when we have best doctors and nurses at home.” Describing the ICU of the Naga Hospital here as one of the “best ones” in the country, the Minister before being discharged from the hospital today also thanked doctors, nurses and staffs for taking care of him during his surgery and recovery. It may be mentioned that his son, Abe, too had similar surgery some months back here in the same hospital.
