Zubaida Rahman stands by measles-hit Nur Nahar

Prime Minister's wife Dr Zubaida Rahman has extended support to six-month-old Nur Nahar, who has been battling measles and pneumonia amid severe financial hardship, after media reports highlighted the infant's critical condition and her mother's desperate struggle to continue treatment, reports UNB.

The matter came to the attention of Zubaida Rahman, Vice President of the Board of Directors of the Ziaur Rahman Foundation and one of the organisers of internationally recognised voluntary organisation Suravi, after a report titled "Six-month-old battling measles in critical condition; mother has no money and does not know what to do" was published in a daily.
