The former prime minister was admitted to the IJN on Dec 16 last year for a full medical check-up and further observation prior to the procedure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, IJN said due to the institutional operating procedures, no visitors are allowed to visit him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDr. Mahathir and his wife Tun Dr. Siti Hasmah Mohd Ali would like to express their gratitude for all the well wishes, concerns, and prayers from the public,\u201d<\/em> the institute added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
