Health Minister JP Nadda Admitted to AIIMS Delhi After Uneasiness
Mr. JP Nadda is a very important government minister in India who is in charge of keeping people healthy.
One day, he did not feel well, so he went to a big hospital called AIIMS.
The doctors wanted to make sure his heart was okay, so they did a special test called a coronary angiography.
This test takes pictures of the small tubes that carry blood to the heart to see if any of them are blocked.
To do it, doctors put a very thin tube into an artery and use special dye and X-rays.
The doctors said he is stable now and he is staying in the hospital so they can keep a close watch on him.
Before he got unwell, he was leading efforts in India to fight a lung disease called TB.
He asked members of parliament to help find and treat people with TB in their local areas.
India has made big progress — far fewer people are getting TB than before, and most patients get better.
The hospital visit happened just one day after that important meeting about TB.
Union Health Minister JP Nadda was admitted to AIIMS Delhi after experiencing uneasiness, PTI reported.
The 65-year-old minister underwent a coronary angiography on Thursday evening and is currently stable, under observation in the Department of Cardiology.
Coronary angiography is a diagnostic test that uses a thin catheter, contrast dye and X-ray imaging to check whether the coronary arteries are narrowed or blocked.
The hospitalisation came a day after Nadda urged MPs from Jharkhand and Odisha to accelerate the TB Mukt Bharat campaign at constituency and district levels.
India recorded a 21% decline in TB incidence between 2015 and 2024 and a 92% treatment success rate, according to the WHO Global TB Report 2025.
