BNP standing committee member and Prime Minister’s political adviser Mirza Abbas, currently undergoing treatment at Singapore General Hospital, was moved from the Critical Care Unit (ICU) to a cabin on Friday.
BNP Health Affairs Secretary Md Rafiqul Islam confirmed the development, stating that Abbas’s condition is showing signs of gradual improvement. He had been under intensive medical observation for 19 days following a complex brain surgery.
“I spoke with his wife, Afroza Abbas, this morning. His condition is improving, and he was moved from the ICU to a cabin earlier today,” Islam said. He further noted that doctors will now commence advanced physiotherapy in the cabin, although the veteran leader must remain under close medical supervision due to the intricate nature of his surgery.
Following the board’s recommendation, emergency brain surgery was performed. Within 72 hours of the procedure, arrangements were made to transport him abroad for further care.
Abbas was admitted to Evercare Hospital in the capital after suddenly losing consciousness during Iftar on 11 March. He later underwent brain surgery and was taken to Singapore by air ambulance on 15 March for advanced treatment.
Meanwhile, another BNP standing committee member and Prime Minister’s adviser Nazrul Islam Khan , left for Singapore last Tuesday. He is expected to undergo treatment at the National University Hospital there.
Islam also conveyed that the family of Mirza Abbas has requested the people of the country to pray for his full and speedy recovery.
