Former health minister and Awami League MP Mohammed Nasim's health condition remains unchanged and he is in "very critical state" now.
Infected with Covid-19 and later suffering a stroke, Nasim went into a "deep coma" as his condition deteriorated further last night. He is undergoing treatment at the Bangladesh Specialised Hospital at Dhaka's Shyamoli.
Nasim's son Tanvir Shakil Joy, also a former Awami League MP, told media on Friday that his father had undergone a successful surgery after suffering a stroke.
On June 1, Nasim was admitted to Bangladesh Specialised Hospital as he was feeling unwell. Later, he tested positive for coronavirus.
