Nagpur: Indian embassy in Nepal has offered to arrange an air ambulance for the 73-year-old woman from Nagpur who remains stranded at a hospital in Kathmandu. The rest of the 105 pilgrims who travelled with her have reached Nagpur following the intervention by state govt.
TOI had reported about her condition on Aug 29 when the rest of the pilgrims had started for India. He also called up a flight operator who confirmed that an aircraft to Nagpur can be arranged.
He said that they are ready to fly her to Nagpur in an air ambulance. The air ambulance would be arranged as soon as the hospital gives a green signal,” Aditya said. Doctors told Aditya that she has also developed complications in the kidney.
Still in a critical state, a temporary pacemaker has been installed in her body at Kathmandu’s Shahid Gangalal National Heart Centre, where Vimala has spent nearly a week. “A doctor from the Indian embassy met me in the hospital. The officer has asked me to get a consent letter from doctors at Shahid Gangalal National Heart Centre. Meanwhile, Vimala’s condition remains critical.
Health Complications Delay Medical Evacuation for Nepalese Patient
Vimla Pandey remains hospitalized in Nepal due to a serious health complication that arose just before recent floods. Her group was forced to leave her behind for medical care, and they have since contributed financially to cover her initial treatment costs. Pandey’s family is currently awaiting approval from her doctors in Nepal regarding her medical status, which will determine when she can be safely transported to India for further treatment.
