Zia Islam flown to Singapore
Zia Islam, chief photojournalist of the daily Prothom Alo, who was injured in a road accident four days ago, was flown to Singapore's Gleneagles Hospital from Dhaka for better treatment last evening.
“Zia's temperature, blood pressure and heart beat were normal while he was taken to Singapore,” Dr Hussain Imam of Dhaka Medical College Hospital told reporters.
Zia suffered critical head and legs injures after a private car hit his motorbike in the capital's Panthapath on Monday.
The photojournalist was first taken to DMCH where he was undergoing treatment in the intensive care unit. Later, a DMCH medical board referred him to Apollo Hospitals where he underwent a brain surgery on Tuesday.
