Hospital authorities confirmed that the patient is currently stable, recovering well and under observation.
The development reflects the growing capacity of healthcare institutions in remote parts of Arunachal Pradesh to manage complex medical emergencies locally. It also reduces the need for critical referrals to hospitals outside the district, which can be time-consuming and risky in emergency situations.
Officials noted that the successful surgery underscores the commitment and preparedness of the medical team in delivering essential healthcare services despite infrastructural and logistical constraints.
