The Delhi High Court on Tuesday directed that activist Sonam Wangchuk be shifted from Safdarjung Hospital to Medanta Hospital in Gurugram for further medical treatment.
The order came while hearing a petition filed by Wangchuk's wife, Geetanjali, seeking his transfer to the private hospital. The court directed that all medical records, treatment details, test reports and other relevant documents related to Wangchuk's treatment at Safdarjung Hospital be handed over to the doctors at Medanta to ensure continuity of care.
During the hearing, the Centre informed the Delhi High Court that it had no objection to Wangchuk being shifted to Medanta Hospital.
Wangchuk had been admitted to Safdarjung Hospital after being taken from the Jantar Mantar protest site amid concerns over his health during his indefinite hunger strike. Following the High Court's order, his treatment will now continue at Medanta Hospital in Gurugram.
