Union health minister JP Nadda was admitted to AIIMS Delhi after experiencing uneasiness and underwent coronary angiography. He is stable and under observation in the cardiology department.
Health Minister JP Nadda sought medical attention at AIIMS Delhi following feelings of unease, according to reports by PTI. The 65-year-old leader underwent a coronary angiography on Thursday evening at the hospital. Current reports indicate that Nadda is stable and admitted for observation in the Cardiology department of AIIMS.
A coronary angiography is a diagnostic test that examines the blood vessels supplying the heart, helping doctors identify any narrowing or blockage in the coronary arteries. This procedure involves inserting a catheter through an artery in the wrist or groin, injecting contrast dye, and using X-ray imaging to visualize the arteries.
Nadda's hospitalization follows his participation in a meeting with MPs from Jharkhand and Odisha regarding the Centre's tuberculosis elimination programme. At the meeting, Nadda emphasized the importance of working at the constituency and district levels to accelerate the TB Mukt Bharat campaign and urged MPs to engage with district collectors and healthcare facilities.
The recent 100-Day TB Mukt Bharat Abhiyaan screened nearly 1.58 lakh high-risk villages and urban wards, detecting over seven lakh new TB cases and identifying 1.97 lakh asymptomatic TB cases. India's TB incidence has declined by 21% since 2015, with a treatment success rate of 92%, according to the Health Ministry's statement.
