Nasim’s Condition: His blood is not clotting
The condition of former health minister and Awami League MP Mohammad Nasim deteriorated further yesterday. He is now in a "very critical state".
"Mohammad Nasmi's condition has worsened today [yesterday] as we have carried out a test that says his blood is not clotting," Raziul Haque, a renowned neurosurgeon at the Bangladesh Specialised Hospital where the AL senior leader is being treated, told The Daily Star over phone.
He also said Nasim's blood pressure was stable in the last two days. "But today [yesterday] his blood pressure is fluctuating."
Asked about the possibility of sending Nasim abroad for better treatment, Raziul said he was not in a position to be taken abroad.
Dr Kanak Kanti Barua, vice-chancellor of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University and also the chief of medical board formed to oversee treatment of Nasim, told this correspondent that Nasim was in a "very critical state" now.
Infected with Covid-19 and later suffering from a stroke, Nasim has been in a "deep coma" since June 5.
His son Tanvir Shakil Joy, also a former AL lawmaker, told the media on June 5 that his father had undergone a successful surgery after suffering a stroke.
On June 1, Nasim was admitted to the Bangladesh Specialised Hospital in the capital's Shyamoli as he was feeling unwell. Later, he tested positive for coronavirus.
