BNP Standing Committee member and Prime Minister’s political adviser Mirza Abbas will be taken to Singapore for advanced medical treatment today, Sunday, between 11:00 and 11:30 a.m. by air ambulance. His wife Afroza Abbas and elder son Mirza Yasir Abbas will accompany him. The information was confirmed by his personal secretary Mizanur Rahman Sohel. Abbas is currently under treatment at Evercare Hospital in Dhaka, where he has been kept under intensive observation following brain surgery performed on Friday.

According to BNP Health Affairs Secretary Dr. Rafiqul Islam, a CT scan conducted on Saturday morning showed positive results. Abbas had lost consciousness on Thursday evening after prayers and was admitted to Evercare Hospital that night. A virtual medical board reviewed his condition and decided on surgery after his CT scan indicated deterioration. The former minister underwent two rounds of surgery and has been kept under 72-hour observation.

Several national leaders, including Prime Minister Tarique Rahman, visited or inquired about Abbas’s condition at the hospital, reflecting broad political concern over his health.
