PM Narendra Modi speaks to Sourav Ganguly, wishes him speedy recovery

Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke to Former Indian cricket team captain and BCCI president Sourav Ganguly and enquired about his health after he underwent angioplasty after suffering a cardiac arrest.

Sourav Ganguly, who was admitted in Woodlands Hospital in Kolkata was diagnosed with three blocked coronary arteries. 

Official sources said that Modi also spoke to Ganguly's wife, Dona to check for his well-being.

Ganguly was stable and his health parameters were normal as per doctors, on Sunday.

"He's doing absolutely fine, I met him this morning and spoke to him. He has his wife Dona, brother Snehasish and his wife beside him. He was spending time with them, he just had breakfast at the time when I met him," Dr. Rupali Basu, CEO of Woodlands said Sunday.

"He's doing fine, looking fine, maybe a bit tired from the way I would normally see him. I don't think there is any risk on his health at all at the moment."

Dr Basu also shed some light on further treatment of Ganguly after one of the blockages was removed by inserting a stent, 
saying that it will take 3-4 weeks for Ganguly to return to active life.

"I don't think we are considering surgery at the moment because of his young age and the advancement of angioplasty. But we are taking expert opinions from the best cardiologists in the country and in the world and then we will have to take a call about what to do with the 2 blocked arteries and once that is done, another 3-4 weeks of resting and he should be back to his active life and that's what we want for Dada to be back to his active life," she said.
