Union Minister of Health and Family Welfare J.P. Nadda was discharged from the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in Delhi on Wednesday, August 19, following a successful coronary angioplasty. The Union Minister had been admitted to the medical facility on the evening of August 13 after experiencing physical restlessness. Upon his admission, a team of specialized doctors conducted comprehensive medical evaluations, which included coronary angiography tests to assess his cardiovascular health.
Medical Timeline and Treatment at AIIMS
According to statements from Dr. Reema Dada of AIIMS, the minister was initially brought to the hospital due to complaints of uneasiness and restlessness. Following the preliminary angiography procedures, he was transferred to the cardiology department for continuous observation, where medical authorities confirmed that his vital parameters remained stable. The hospital administration issued a formal health update on August 14 reiterating his stable condition, after which medical specialists performed an angioplasty on August 17.
A press release issued by AIIMS on August 18 confirmed that his health remained stable while he continued to receive care under the close supervision of cardiologists. Following the successful outcome of the medical treatment, doctors cleared him for discharge on August 19. While the hospital administration did not publicize specific diagnostic findings from the angiography or disclose the exact underlying trigger for his initial restlessness, medical experts note that angioplasty, also known as percutaneous coronary intervention, is a standard procedure used to open narrowed or obstructed heart arteries and restore normal blood circulation.
Extensive Official Duties and Current Recovery
Along with the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, J.P. Nadda also holds charge of the Ministry of Chemicals and Fertilizers in the central government. In the weeks leading up to his hospitalization, the minister had maintained an exceptionally rigorous schedule. His duties involved presiding over multiple crucial health department strategy sessions, reviewing national health programs, and inspecting the execution of various ongoing development projects across the country. Medical specialists monitoring his health have affirmed that his condition is stable as he returns home from AIIMS.
