Union minister JP Nadda undergoes angioplasty, condition stable: AIIMS Delhi

Union Health Minister JP Nadda underwent a medical procedure known as angioplasty at AIIMS Delhi on Monday, according to the hospital. He has since been reported as stable and under further observation. The procedure involves widening narrowed or blocked arteries that supply blood to the heart or other body parts.

The hospital issued a statement on Tuesday confirming the details of Nadda's angioplasty. On the same day, they also announced that the Minister was initially admitted to AIIMS Delhi on Thursday after experiencing uneasiness.

The uneasiness prompted a series of medical tests, including a coronary angiography, on the evening of 13th August 2026. This diagnostic procedure visualizes the coronary arteries to assess blood flow. The hospital's media spokesperson confirmed these details in a press statement around 1 pm on Friday.

Nadda's hospitalization coincided with the conclusion of the Monsoon Session of Parliament on Thursday. The session wrapped up on its final day with a contentious debate between the Opposition and Nadda, who serves as the Leader of the House in the Rajya Sabha.
