Goa Deputy Speaker Wagh shifted to Mumbai hospital

Goa Assembly Deputy Speaker Vishnu Wagh was today shifted to a Mumbai hospital from Goa Medical College and Hospital (GMCH) as his condition continues to be critical.
Goa Chief Minister Laxmikant Parsekar told reporters here that Wagh was shifted to Hinduja Hospital in Mumbai by a special air ambulance at 8.05 PM today from GMCH.
The Chief Minister, who was present during shifting of the legislator, said Wagh was accompanied by doctors from both GMHC and the Hinduja hospital.
Wagh, a journalist-turned-politician, was admitted to GMCH on August 15 after he complained of uneasiness.
"The MLA was diagnosed with high blood pressure and sugar when he was brought to the hospital," GMCH Dean Pradip Naik had said earlier in the day.

Since then he remained on ventilator at Cardiac Care Unit of the hospital, Naik had said.
Naik said the MLA was shifted to the Hinduja hospital upon request of his family.
