The Entire Nation Prays for Manmohan Singh Even as He Undergoes Bypass Surgery
The entire nation is fervently praying for the speedy recovery of Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh even as he is undergoing his second coronary artery bypass surgery today at the AIIMS.

Dr. Singh was admitted into the AIIMS on Friday afternoon after he complained of chest pain and fatigue.

The operation was carried out by a team of 11 senior cardiac specialists, and was led by Dr. Ramakant Panda, a reputed cardiac surgeon from Asian Heart Institute, Mumbai. It lasted for more than seven hours.

Dr. Singh had earlier undergone a cardiac bypass surgery in 1990 in the UK, and an angioplasty in Delhi in 2004 during which stents were introduced into his arteries.

Dr.Singh is 76 years old and like any other geriatric patient in this age group, is likely to have higher incidence of atherosclerosis which leads to hardening of the supple blood vessels. Being a diabetic adds to the problem. The previous prime minister – Mr.Vajapayee also underwent a coronary angioplasty and knee replacement surgery.. Both the VVIP’s had their surgery in India rather than flying to a foreign destination. Over the last couple of decades – the health sector of the country has rapidly evolved and like the IT sector has done the country proud.

The whole nation is united in praying for the speedy recovery of the Prime Minister. His family members are in the capital keeping vigil over him.
