The physical condition of BNP Senior Joint Secretary General Ruhul Kabir Rizvi, who is undergoing treatment at Square Hospital, is ‘slightly improving’.
BNP Health Affairs Secretary Dr Rafiqul Islam on Thursday said Rizvi’s oxygen requirement has decreased. “Earlier, he needed more oxygen support. Now it has come down as his condition is improving slowly.”
He also said Rizvi was diagnosed with a respiratory infection, but the latest medical report showed some improvement.
Rafiqul, however, said doctors have advised him to remain in complete rest for the next few days.
Rizvi was admitted to the hospital on Tuesday with breathing difficulties and fever.
On Wednesday night, BNP Chairman Tarique Rahman visited Square Hospital to enquire about his condition.

His personal assistant Arifur Rahman Tushar said doctors have restricted visitors to prevent the spread of infection. “He has been advised to take full rest. After waking up in the morning, he asked about the election and voter turnout.”
Tushar said Rizvi’s family has urged all to pray for his speedy recovery.
