Prime Minister Sushil Koirala is leaving for the United States for medical treatment on Monday evening (June 16, 2014).

PM’s Private Secretariat has disclosed that Koirala is scheduled to undergo a medical checkup in the US on June 19.

He will be accompanied by his personal physician Prof Dr Karbirnath Yogi, relatives Mridula Koirala and Atul Koirala, and security official Colonel Prakash Deuja.

The Prime Minister was recommended by doctors to undergo check-up in a good medical facility after a spot was discovered in his lungs in course of a routine medical checkup in Kathmandu recently.
