Jailed former vice president Ahmed Adeeb is in stable condition after a surgery to remove kidney stones, according to his family.
He underwent a laser treatment surgery Monday morning at the Indira Gandhi Memorial Hospital and has now been moved to a private executive room.
“Adeeb asked me to sign the consent to undergo surgery to save his kidney by removing the stones in his ureter. It was a hard decision at current circumstances,” his wife Mariyam Nashwa tweeted.
Nashwa previously told the Maldives Independent that Adeeb was “going through a lot of pain” and it was “a very difficult time for the family” after he was hospitalised on November 10.
