BNP Standing Committee member and political adviser to the Prime Minister Mirza Abbas has been shifted to a cabin from the Neuro Intensive Care Unit (ICU) at Singapore General Hospital after 19 days under close medical observation.
BNP Health Affairs Secretary Dr Rafiqul Islam said his condition has shown some improvement.
“I spoke to his wife Afroza Abbas this morning. His condition is gradually improving. He has been moved from the ICU to a cabin today,” he said.
Rafiqul also said doctors will continue advanced physiotherapy at the cabin, as Mirza Abbas underwent a complex brain surgery.
“His treatment is still going on under close medical supervision and will need to continue,” Dr Rafiqul said.
Mirza Abbas was flown to Singapore General Hospital by air ambulance on March 15 from a hospital in Dhaka while undergoing treatment.
Earlier, on March 11, he fell unconscious during iftar and was admitted to Evercare Hospital.
A medical board comprising leading neurologists of the country was formed, and based on its decision, he underwent emergency brain surgery.
He was later taken to Singapore within 72 hours for further treatment.
