Addressing the mediapersons, Singh informed that these surgeries were successfully conducted for three patients – Takhellambam Bikramjit Singh hailing from Kakching; Kimsary from Tuisonjang Village in Churachandpur; and Hanso Wungleng hailing from Winitang in Ukhrul District.
He further noted that all these 3 patients are beneficiaries of Ayushman Bharat Scheme.
The Chief Minister praised the doctors, nurses, and others, thereby referring the first successful kidney transplant by Manipur-based government hospitals – a ‘significant accomplishment’.
