The physical condition of Mirza Abbas—the Prime Minister's Political Advisor and a veteran politician—who is currently undergoing treatment at Singapore General Hospital, has improved, according to the latest updates from his family and political associates.
On Monday (March 23), Dr. A. Z. M. Zahid Hossain—the Minister of Social Welfare and a member of the BNP Standing Committee—confirmed this information while providing the latest update on his physical condition.
Doctors Report Positive Signs
Dr. Zahid Hossain stated that, according to information provided by the doctors, various health parameters regarding Mirza Abbas are showing positive signs. Alhamdulillah (Praise be to God), he is on the path to recovery. However, due to complications related to his brain, it will take some time for him to make a full recovery. On behalf of the family, prayers have been sought from the people of the country for his speedy recovery.
Mizanur Rahman Sohel—Mirza Abbas's Private Secretary, who is currently in Singapore—reported that around 10:00 AM on Monday, doctors assisted him in moving from his bed to a chair, which is considered a significant positive sign. He is now gradually able to speak, and his treatment is continuing under close observation.
Transfer to Singapore for Advanced Care
It is worth noting that Mirza Abbas was transported from Dhaka to Singapore General Hospital via air ambulance on March 15 to receive advanced medical treatment. Singapore is a widely recognized destination for specialized medical care in South Asia, with Singapore General Hospital being one of the region's most established tertiary care facilities, frequently sought by patients requiring complex neurological and multidisciplinary treatment.
Mirza Abbas's wife, Afroza Abbas, and his son, Yasir Abbas, are constantly by his side at the hospital. They have requested the people of the country to pray for Mirza Abbas's complete recovery.
A Veteran Political Figure
Mirza Abbas has long been a prominent figure in Bangladesh's political landscape. As a veteran politician and currently serving as the Prime Minister's Political Advisor, his health condition has drawn attention from across the political spectrum. The involvement of senior BNP figures in providing updates on his condition underscores the cross-party respect he commands.
The gradual improvement in his condition—moving from bed to chair and slowly regaining speech—marks encouraging progress for a patient recovering from brain-related complications. Medical experts generally regard such milestones as important indicators of neurological recovery, though full rehabilitation can require extended periods of monitored care and therapy.
