Subir Nandi flown to Singapore for treatment

Singer Subir Nandi has been admitted to a hospital in Singapore for treatment.

Subir Nandi was admitted to Singapore General Hospital around 3:00pm today, said Dr Samanta Lal Sen, chief coordinator of National Institute of Burn and Plastic Surgery of Dhaka Medical College Hospital.

The singer who is suffering from many problems including kidney and bone diseases have been kept under life support in Singapore, the doctor told our staff correspondent.

He was flown to the country from Bangladesh by air ambulance earlier in the day.

Subir Nandi was taken to the CMH around on April 14 after he fell ill while returning to Dhaka from Srimangal by a train.

The singer suffered a cardiac arrest soon after he was taken to the CMH emergency department.

Following frantic efforts for 2-4 minutes, his heart started working again and he was put on life support and shifted to the intensive care unit (ICU).

He had undergone a bypass surgery in the USA in 2013 for critical triple vessel coronary artery disease and had an angioplasty in the USA earlier this year.

There was too much potassium in his blood before he suffered the cardiac arrest at the CMH emergency unit.
