Former Chief Minister Oommen Chandy, 79, will likely be airlifted to a hospital in Bengaluru for specialist medical care on February 12, Sunday.
The 79-year-old veteran is currently convalescing at a private hospital in Thiruvananthapuram after recovering from a bout of pneumonia.
A government-appointed medical board evaluated Mr. Chandy’s condition and found him stable after doctors weaned him off oxygen support. It cleared the Congress MLA to travel to Bengaluru via an air ambulance.
All India Congress Committee (AICC) general secretary (organisation), K. C. Venugopal, called on Mr. Chandy at the hospital at the behest of AICC president Mallikarjun Kharge.
He told reporters that the party would bear Mr. Chandy’s treatment expenses. The party has arranged for an air ambulance to ferry him to Bengaluru.
Mr. Chandy’s son, Chandy Oommen, told reporters outside the hospital that some sections of the media had pained the family by alleging that they had denied the former Chief Minister medical care.
Mr. Oommen said his father’s illness was in “remission, and there was no indication of any spread”. Nevertheless, some media outlets have portrayed otherwise, quoting fabricated medical reports.
