AL leader Kaiser shifted to Apollo Hospitals
Awami League (AL) Presidium Member Ataur Rahman Khan Kaiser, who had been injured in a road accident, was shifted to Apollo Hospitals in Dhaka from Chittagong Medical College Hospital (CMCH) yesterday.
Kaiser and three others were injured in a road accident on Chittagong-Cox's Bazar highway at Ramu in Cox's Bazar on Saturday afternoon.
After the accident, Kaiser was admitted to ICU of CMCH having suffered injuries to his brain, eyes and face and fracturing his left hip joint.
“The veteran AL leader is out of danger and his condition is improving. But, he is to be shifted to Dhaka, as per decision of a medical board, for a surgery for the fracture on the hip joint,” said In-Charge of CMCH ICU Assistant Professor Dr Shahjahan.
“He needed to be shifted to a hospital where all types of treatments including cardiology are available since he underwent heart bypass earlier,” he said.
Kaiser was flown to Dhaka by a helicopter from Sergeant Zahurul Haq Air Base of Patenga in the port city at around 4:00pm, Dr Shahjahan added.
The accident on Saturday occurred as Kaiser's microbus skidded off the road while heading for Cox's Bazar district stadium from Chittagong to attend namaz-e-janaza of former AL MP Osman Sarwar Alam Chowdhury.
