He said the minister was taken to the hospital around 11:00pm (local time) on Monday and a medical board was constituted on an emergency basis.

Apart from Dr Philip, there are cardiothoracic surgeon Dr Sivathasan Cumaraswamy, infectious disease specialist Dr Asok Kurup, urologist Dr Ho Siew Hong and intensive care medicine specialist Sim Kah Ming in the medical board.

Nasar said the board extensively examined Quader, sat yesterday morning and gave their feedback.

“They're thinking of conducting a bypass surgery after controlling the kidney problems and infections in a few days.”

The minister's condition was now stable. The medical board appreciated the initial management of the situation in Bangladesh, Naser added.

The board will brief on the treatment at 12:30pm (local time) today.
