Ailing Goa Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar was admitted in the Goa Medical College and Hospital (GMCH) late Saturday night.
The chief minister's office said he was taken to the GMCH for upper GI endoscopy. "His health condition continues to be stable," the CMO said, adding Parrikar would be kept under observation for around 48 hours.
Parrikar, 63, has been suffering from a pancreatic ailment since the last one year and is recuperating at his private residence.
State Health Minister Vishwajit Rane arrived at the GMCH to inquire about Parrikar's condition. He said the chief minister was kept in an isolated ward, but his condition was stable and he was doing well.
"I spoke to him [Parrikar], tomorrow he will go home. He has come here for a check up," Rane told reporters outside GMCH.
"The chief minister is a fighter. He told me to go home. He is under observation. There is nothing to worry about or speculate. He is absolutely fine," the minister added.
"He will be admitted for a day under observation. The doctors must have wanted some tests to be done. By tomorrow evening he should be back home, he said.
