Doctors at Nemcare Hospital say Garima Saikia Garg is physically stable but requires specialised counselling and continued care following emotional distress.
Guwahati, November 4, 2026: The next phase of medical care for Garima Saikia Garg is expected to take place in Mumbai, although doctors and family members are yet to finalise the treatment facility. The development comes after a medical assessment at Nemcare Hospital in Guwahati, where she was admitted following a sudden illness last week.
Garima, wife of late Assamese music icon Zubeen Garg, has been experiencing emotional stress and difficulties with sleep and eating, according to doctors treating her.
Addressing a press conference on Tuesday, November 3, Dr Hitesh Baruah said her physical condition was stable and she was not in immediate danger. However, he emphasised that she needed professional counselling, adequate rest and continued medical attention.
Mumbai Counselling Recommended for Garima Saikia Garg
The medical team has advised that Garima receive specialised counselling at a suitable institution in Mumbai.
Dr Baruah explained that although doctors at Nemcare Hospital had provided the necessary medical care, they believed further counselling at a specialised centre would benefit her recovery.
He indicated that the proposed counselling and treatment could require approximately 15 to 20 days.
The name of the Mumbai hospital has not yet been announced. According to the doctor, further consultations with her family will determine the arrangements.
