Muktamoni to return home soon: Nasim
Health Minister Mohammed Nasim yesterday said Muktamoni would return home with her parents soon as her physical condition has improved.
"Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina is keeping a close watch on Muktamoni's [condition] regularly. She will return home with her parents within a few days," the minister said while visiting Muktamoni at Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH).
Nasim said, "Our physicians are giving services cordially despite limited resources." They also became successful in carrying out complicated treatments, including surgical operations on conjoined twins Tofa-Tahura, he added.
The minister hoped that people would get better services after completing construction work of Sheikh Hasina National Burn Institute in Chankharpool.
Muktamoni, a 10-year-old girl from Satkhira, was admitted to the hospital on July 11 with a malignant growth on her right arm. A series of surgical operations were carried out without amputating her affected arm.
The premier took the responsibility of Muktamoni's treatment.
According to her father Ibrahim, a grocery shop owner, Muktamoni and her twin sister Hiramoni were a pair of healthy baby girls during their birth but a wart appeared on her right arm when Muktamoni was about 18 months old.
