BNP standing committee member Dr Khandaker Mosharraf Hossain will be taken to Singapore again on Sunday for advanced treatment as his condition deteriorates.
“My father has suffered a brain haemorrhage. His physical condition is not good,” his younger son Barrister Khandaker Maruf Hossain told UNB on Saturday.
He said the BNP leader is being taken to the National University Hospital in Singapore on the advice of the doctors of Evercare Hospital.
“We have completed all preparations to take him to Singapore on a Singapore Airlines flight at 11:30pm on Sunday,” Maruf said.
He urged the country’s people, including the leaders and activists of BNP, to pray for the early recovery of his ailing father.
Mosharraf Hossain is now undergoing treatment at Evercare Hospital under the supervision of neuro specialist Dr Prof Khandaker Mahbubur Rahman.
Mosharraf, the 76-year-old former health minister, was admitted to Evercare Hospital in the capital on June 18 last year after suffering a stroke. He received treatment there for eight days.
On the advice of Evercare Hospital doctors, the BNP leader went to Singapore National Hospital for treatment on June 27 for better treatment.
He was diagnosed with a brain tumour while undergoing treatment in Singapore.
Considering his age, doctors gave him upfront radiotherapy to manage the adverse impacts of the tumour, instead of conducting a surgery.
He returned home from Singapore on September 5 after receiving treatment for two months and 10 days.
As he fell ill again, he was admitted to Evercare Hospital on December 5.
