He is recovering step by step and his condition has improved significantly, his wife says

Senior BNP leader Mirza Abbas is gradually recovering while undergoing treatment in Malaysia, where he is receiving daily physiotherapy, his family says.

His wife Afroza Abbas told bdnews24.com on Tuesday that his condition has “improved”.

“He is receiving physiotherapy every day. Praise be to God, his condition is now better,” she said.

Standing Committee member Mirza Abbas was first admitted to Evercare Hospital in Dhaka on Mar 11 after suddenly losing consciousness during iftar in Ramadan.

A medical team of neurology specialists later performed emergency brain surgery.

On Mar 15, four days later, the Dhaka-8 lawmaker was airlifted to Singapore and admitted to the General Hospital for better treatment.

After a month of intensive care, his condition improved substantially.

On medical advice, he was shifted to Prince Court Medical Centre in Malaysia on Apr 14 for continued physiotherapy.

Afroza said he is now undergoing regular rehabilitation sessions and responding positively to treatment.
