Ghulam Azam referred to orthopaedic specialist

Former Jamaat-e-Islami ameer Ghulam Azam, detained in connection with crimes against humanity during the Liberation War, was referred to an orthopaedic specialist yesterday due to pain in his bones, said Dr ABM Abdullah of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU).
BSMMU's medicine faculty Dean Prof Dr Abdullah, chief of a three-member medical board for Ghulam Azam's medical care, told The Daily Star, “Ghulam Azam had been suffering from osteoarthrosis pain, a most common joint disorder caused due to old-age, for long before his arrest. But as he informed us of his pain, we have referred him to the orthopaedic specialist of BSMMU Dr Nakul Dutt”.
After a small piece of silent gallstone was detected in his gall bladder, he was referred to a hepatobiliary specialist on Sunday, Dr Abdullah said.
Ghulam Azam was sent to jail on January 11 by the International Crimes Tribunal in connection with 62 counts of crimes against humanity during the War of Liberation in 1971.
