Union AYUSH Minister Shripad Naik was discharged on Wednesday morning from Goa Medical College and Hospital, Bambolim, 45 days after being admitted following a horrific vehicle accident at Hillur- Hoskambi village in Ankola, Karnataka.
Naik’s wife, Vijaya and his close aide, Deepak Ghume, lost their lives in the mishap on January 11.
Naik sustained multiple fractures including that on the left shoulder, arm, forearm, left thigh bone and blunt chest trauma.
GMCH Dean Dr SM Bandekar stated that Shripad Naik has recovered well and that his fractures are healing adequately.
The AYUSH Minister has been advised to walk with the help of elbow crutches for partial weight bearing till the time his fractures heal completely.
“I thank every member of GMCH staff, Chief Minister Pramod Sawant, Dean Bandekar and every person who performed this miracle and made me stand on my feet again,” Naik said as he left the GMCH complex and made his way home.
