Kokilaben Hospital is an excellent choice for treatment. But I wonder why he didn't opt for AIIMS Bhubaneswar? We have world-class facilities in Odisha too. Still, health comes first - hope the procedure goes smoothly.

Cervical arthritis can be very painful, especially at his age. His positive attitude is inspiring! "Jai Jagannath" - this simple phrase shows his humility. Odisha needs him back in good health soon.

While I may not agree with all his policies, one must respect his decades of service to Odisha. Health issues don't discriminate - hope he recovers fully. The combination of modern medicine and faith is very Indian approach!

Dr. Panda is one of the best cardiac surgeons in India. If he's coordinating the treatment, Naveen Patnaik is in good hands. The mention of Lord Jagannath shows his Odia roots. Get well soon, our beloved leader!
