The government has decided not to immediately take Ganesh Nepali, a 25-year-old burn patient from Mugu Soru Rural Municipality–1, to India for treatment, following the advice of doctors.
According to the initial recommendation of the doctors involved in his treatment, the government had completed all preparations to take Nepali to the 'AIIMS' hospital in New Delhi, India.
Home Minister Sudhan Gurung himself was mobilized to ensure Nepali was taken to the airport immediately, deploying Nepal Police and Traffic Police on the roads throughout the night. Additionally, the government had arranged for an air ambulance for his rescue.
Earlier, the government had stated that all of Nepali's treatment expenses would be covered by the state treasury. Arrangements had also been made to transport Nepali from the airport in India to AIIMS hospital.
However, as Nepali's condition became unstable while on a ventilator in the burn ICU ward at Bir Hospital, doctors advised that transferring him elsewhere in such a state would further endanger his life. As a result, the government has decided not to take him to India immediately.
Doctors have recommended that Nepali should only be taken to India once his condition stabilizes. Therefore, Home Minister Gurung and members of Prime Minister Balendra Shah's secretariat remain on standby at Bir Hospital.
Nepali, who was admitted to the emergency ward of Bir Hospital at 3 p.m. on Thursday, has suffered burns on 55 percent of his body. Currently, a special team of 21 people is involved in his treatment, led by Dr. Piyush Dahal, coordinator of the Plastic Surgery Department, including unit chief Dr. Apar Lamichhane, critical care specialist Dr. Nirman Gyawali, anesthetist Jayprakash Thakur, Prof. Dr. Raviram Shrestha, and nursing staff.
The medical team is continuously administering special medications to control his blood pressure and stabilize his condition.
