Dharamshala October 10: Doctors successfully removed gallstones from His Holiness the Dalai Lama in a surgery carried out earlier today at Delhi’s Sir Ganga Ram hospital.
A statement posted on the official website of the Tibetan leader said, “His Holiness the Dalai Lama underwent a successful removal of gallstones this morning at Sir Ganga Ram Hospital in New Delhi, which is a simple routine procedure. He will rest a few days in New Delhi before returning to Dharamsala.”
His schedules, including travel programmes, remain unchanged, the statement said.
“He (the Dalai Lama) is going to undergo the removal of gall stones, which I believe is a simple routine procedure,” the Tibetan leader’s secretary Chhime R. Chhoekyappa told Reuters before the surgery, “Otherwise his health is fine. It is just to remove the gallstones, nothing else.”
