Prime Minister and Awami League President Sheikh Hasina has gone to the Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU) to visit her party’s General Secretary Obaidul Quader, who is currently in critical condition.


Hasina arrived at the hospital after 3pm on Sunday (Mar 3).

Quader, who is suffering from heart problems, has been admitted to the Coronary Care Unit of the state-run hospital in the morning.
Quader, who serves as the road transport minister, has three arterial blocks, one of which has been cleared. However, he remains in critical condition and is being ventilated to help him with breathing.
Though preparations had been made to transfer Quader to Singapore, doctors say they are unsure whether he is in any condition to be transferred.
