Hiron\\\'s condition unchanged

Showkat Hossain Hiron, the Awami League MP from Barisal-5 constituency, is in a critical condition even after undergoing treatment at Singapore. Hiron, also former mayor of Barisal, was brought back to Bangladesh in the early hours of Friday. “Hiron has been kept on life support at Dhaka’s Apollo Hospitals,” his friend and Barisal City Corporation’s chief tax official Abual Masud Mamun said. Hiron had collapsed at the Barisal club on March 22 due to a cardiac arrest. He had suffered brain haemorrhage. He was rushed to the Sher-e-Bangla Medical College Hospitals and was later shifted to Dhaka the same night. A brain surgery was performed on him at the Apollo Hospital on Mar 23. He was airlifted to Singapore the following day for better treatment. The MP’s friend said he was kept on life support at the Glenn Eagles Medical Centre from Mar 25 to Apr 3. Another brain surgery was performed during that time but his condition remained unchanged. Doctors there suggested taking Hiron back home, according to bdnews24.com.
