He was briefly hospitalized in Max Hospital, Delhi in April this year for a chest infection that caused the Tibetans and well-wishers around the world to worry about his wellbeing.
The Tibetan leader has said that he is unable to commute long distance flights to North America and Europe due to age related physical constraints. Tibetans and followers have urged the aging leader to take rest and curb his schedule for his health
