Sharif Osman Hadi, a leader of the July Uprising, a spokesperson for the Inqilab Moncho and an independent candidate for the Dhaka-8 constituency, will be flown to Singapore by air ambulance on Monday afternoon for advanced medical treatment.

Over the past two days, the government has contacted several hospitals in Singapore, Thailand and Malaysia regarding Hadi’s treatment, said the CA's Press Wing on Sunday.

On the instructions of Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus, the decision was taken in an emergency conference call involving Cultural Adviser Mostofa Sarwar Farooki, Professor Dr Md Sayedur Rahman, Special Assistant to the Chief Adviser for Health Ministry Affairs, Evercare Hospital specialist Dr Zafar and Hadi’s brother Omar Bin Hadi, the Press Wing said.

It said all necessary arrangements, including the medical air ambulance, medical team and travel-related preparations, have already been completed.

Arrangements have also been made for his treatment at the Accident and Emergency Department of Singapore General Hospital.

Special Assistant Professor Dr Md Sayedur Rahman informed the Chief Adviser that Hadi’s physical condition has remained unchanged.

The Press Wing said all expenses related to Hadi’s treatment will be borne by the state, while the Chief Adviser has instructed the authorities concerned to keep his health condition under constant observations.

The Chief Adviser has also sought prayers from people for Hadi’s speedy recovery.

Osman Hadi was shot and injured by assailants in the capital’s Bijoynagar area at noon on Friday, triggering widespread concerns and condemnation.
