New Delhi: A month after his bypass surgery, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh is now fit to resume work, doctors attending on him said.
"The Prime Minister's four weeks recovery time is over. Four weeks mean there is good amount of healing. He is now more or less independent and he can resume work," Dr Vijay D'silva, ICU specialist and one of the doctors from Asian Heart Institute attending on Singh, told PTI.
Singh underwent a 'redo' coronary artery bypass surgery at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences on January 24 as doctors removed five blockages in his heart. He was discharged from the hospital on February 1.
The Prime Minister will now be on diet restrictions and will have to undergo physiotherapy and exercises for another one week.
Doctors attending on the Prime Minister removed all his stitches on February 8. While some were removed on Saturday, others were removed on Sunday. The stitches were removed by Dr Ramakant Panda, the surgeon from Mumbai's Asian Heart Institute who had led the team of doctors which performed the successful operation.
"In another one month he will be completely independent," D'Silva added.
