DHAKA, Apr 03 (V7N) — In a positive development for his supporters and family, Mirza Abbas, BNP Standing Committee member and Political Advisor to the Prime Minister, has been moved from the Coronary Care Unit (CCU) to a general cabin at Singapore General Hospital.

The BNP media cell confirmed the news on Friday (April 3), quoting family members who stated that while the veteran leader is showing significant improvement, he remains under strict medical observation and has been advised by doctors to limit his speech during the recovery phase.

  • March 12-14: He was admitted to Evercare Hospital in Dhaka, where he underwent emergency brain surgery to address a critical neurological condition.

  • March 15: Due to the complexity of his recovery, he was flown to Singapore via a specialized air ambulance for advanced treatment.

Leadership Health Updates in Singapore

Mirza Abbas is not the only high-ranking official currently seeking medical care in the city-state.

  • Nazrul Islam Khan: Another BNP Standing Committee member and Advisor to the Prime Minister, Nazrul Islam Khan, arrived in Singapore last Tuesday. He is scheduled for treatment at the Singapore National University Hospital (NUH).

  • Ongoing Coordination: The BNP media cell noted that both leaders are receiving top-tier care, and the party remains in constant contact with their medical teams.

Political Context

The absence of these two senior figures comes at a pivotal time for the 13th National Parliament.
