President Ramchandra Poudel returned home on Sunday night as his health conditions improved following his successful treatment for a chest-related ailment at a hospital in New Delhi.

Paudel, 79, was airlifted to India on April 19 for treatment at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences, (AIIMS), New Delhi, after he complained of problems related to stomach and chest. He returned to Kathmandu on board the Nepal Airlines’ regular flight after being discharged from the hospital following his “successful” treatment, said his aid.

“He has gone through various health check-ups and treatment at the AIIMS,” the President’s Office said in a statement earlier on Sunday. Doctors involved in Paudel’s treatment have advised him to rest for a few more weeks. “His health conditions have now improved significantly,” reads the statement.

President Poudel has thanked Nepalese and Indian health personnel involved in his treatment, government officials, security personnel, all brothers and sisters from within and outside the country who have expressed concern about his health and the government of India, the statement added.
