Dr Wazed shifted to Square Hospital


Ailing nuclear scientist Dr Wazed Miah, husband of Awami League President Sheikh Hasina, was shifted to Square Hospital in the city from Bangladesh Medical College Hospital on Thursday night.

A seven-member medical board was formed yesterday morning for his treatment, said Dr Mirza Nazim Uddin of Square Hospital.

"His condition is normal and he is now fully conscious," the physician said.

"He is hemodynamically stable and his chest is almost clear," said a press release of the hospital.

Dr Wazed has been suffering from heart disease and diabetes and high blood pressure since long.

He was admitted to LabAid Specialised Hospital on July 16 with acute chest pain and discharged on July 23.

He was admitted to Bangladesh Medical College Hospital again on Wednesday with 'hypoglycemia and electrolyte disorder' and then shifted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of Square Hospital at 11:00pm on Thursday.
