Jatiya Party acting chairman GM Quader on Wednesday said that the kidney and lung conditions of his brother and former President HM Ershad, now undergoing treatment at the Combined Military Hospital (CMH) in the capital, have improved slightly.
“Doctors said that if the improvement trend continues for two-three days, HM Ershad will recover speedily,” he said.
GM Quader came up with the remarks while speaking at a press conference at Jatiya Party Chairman’s Banani office in the capital.
The Jatiya Party acting chairman said he visited his brother at the CMH around 11:00 am and kept his hand on his forehead. “He (Ershad) opened his eyes and heard what I told him.”
He called upon the country’s people to pray for Ershad’s quick recovery.
Ershad, also the leader of the opposition in parliament, was admitted to the CMH on June 26 as his condition deteriorated.
The former military ruler has been suffering from various old age complications, including low haemoglobin and liver and kidney problem, high bilirubin and serious keen pain.
Jatiya Party’s Secretary General Moshiur Rahman Ranga was present in the press briefing.
Meanwhile, after visiting the leader of the opposition in parliament on Monday evening, Health Minister Zahid Maleque said Ershad was on “life support” and in a “critical” condition.
