BNP Health Affairs Secretary Dr Md Rafiqul Islam on Monday visited Hannan Molla, the father of eight-year-old Ramisa Akter who was raped and killed at Pallabi, at the National Institute of Cardiovascular Diseases (NICVD) in the capital.
Hospital sources said Hannan Molla was taken to the hospital by family members after he developed health complications. He is currently under observation at the Cardiac Care Unit (CCU) under the supervision of Prof Dr Md Toufiqur Rahman Faruque with suspected heart-related complications.
Following the news of his hospitalisation, Rafiqul Islam visited him at the hospital and spoke with the family members as well as the attending physicians.
He also inquired after his condition from Dr Toufiqur Rahman and requested the hospital authorities to ensure the best possible treatment.
During preliminary examinations, doctors reportedly found potassium deficiency, and he may be suffering from viral pericarditis, according to medical suspicion.
Doctors said his condition is currently stable, but further tests are required to determine his detailed health status.
