Union Health Minister JP Nadda Admitted to AIIMS Delhi After Feeling Unwell
Union Health Minister J.P. Nadda was admitted to the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in New Delhi on Wednesday after experiencing uneasiness, official sources said. The minister is reported to be in a stable condition and is undergoing routine observation at the premier hospital.
According to sources, Mr. Nadda was brought to the hospital in the evening after he complained of discomfort. He was admitted to the hospital’s emergency ward for preliminary check-ups. Senior doctors at AIIMS attended to him, and his condition is stated to be stable. Further details regarding his diagnosis have not been officially released.
Mr. Nadda, who also oversees the Union Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, had earlier in the day interacted with Members of Parliament from Jharkhand and Odisha as part of efforts to strengthen the 'TB Mukt Bharat' campaign. He has been actively involved in the government’s public health initiatives, including the tuberculosis elimination drive and COVID-19 management protocols.
The Health Ministry has not issued an official statement so far, but officials have confirmed the admission and assured that the minister is under medical supervision. This development comes at a time when the ministry is managing several health programmes and seasonal disease outbreaks across the country.
Political leaders and colleagues have expressed concern and wished him a speedy recovery. However, no official health bulletin has been released yet. The hospital administration has kept details limited, respecting patient privacy norms, while confirming that the minister is recovering.
Mr. Nadda, a senior leader of the Bharatiya Janata Party, has held the health portfolio since 2019. His tenure has seen major policy initiatives, including the Ayushman Bharat scheme and the expansion of medical education infrastructure. His sudden admission has drawn attention to the demanding nature of his responsibilities, but medical experts have urged against speculation until formal information is provided.
As per standard protocol, the hospital is likely to release a health bulletin if required. Meanwhile, the minister’s office has requested people to avoid unnecessary speculation and respect the family’s privacy.
