New Delhi: Gitanjali Angmo, wife of activist Sonam Wangchuk, has moved the Delhi high court on Sunday (July 19) seeking Wangchuk’s transfer from Safdarjung Hospital to a private hospital. Angmo said she had “lost faith” in Safdarjung Hospital and sought an urgent hearing on the same day itself.In a post on X, Angmo said she claimed that the hospital authorities had informed them his potassium level had fallen to 2.9, describing it as “alarming” and “life-threatening” even though their public health bulletin omitted the actual figure and merely referred to “decreasing potassium levels”. She also claimed that an independent laboratory test showed Wangchuk’s potassium level at 3.5, which they described as being within the normal range.“If anything happens to Sonam, the hospital authorities and the government must bear full responsibility. I have therefore moved the High Court and sought an urgent hearing today, praying for permission to shift Sonam before his health deteriorates further. No family should have to fight the system simply to choose where their loved one receives medical care,” she stated.I have lost faith in Safdarjung Government Hospital.The hospital told us @Wangchuk66’s potassium had dropped to 2.9, describing it as alarming and life-threatening.
