KATHMANDU, July 30: Prime Minister K P Sharma Oli is leaving for Singapore for his regular medical check as advised by his personal physicians. Beside regular checkup, he will also take rest for a few days.

PM Oli is going to Singapore not only for medical checkups but he will also take rest for a few days,” Oli’s personal physician Dr. Divya Singh told Onlinekhabar.

The 67-year-old prime minister keeps visiting outside the country for regular tests as he suffers from kidney problems. He had undergone a kidney transplant surgery at the Apollo Hospital in New Delhi in 2007.

“The prime minister’s schedule is hectic but his body is in need of a rest. Therefore, I advised him to go for a checkup and rest,” said Singh.

“But the hospital is yet to be finalized.”

According to reports, PM Oli will leave to the island city-state on August 3. However, the date has not been officially finalized.
