India’s best-known cardiac surgeon Dr Devi Shetty is flying to Dhaka on Monday to treat ailing Awami League General Secretary Obaidul Quader at Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU) Hospital.
Awami League Joint General Secretary Mahbubul Alam Hanif confirmed the news to media.
Earlier, three specialists from Mount Elizabeth Hospital of Singapore flew into Dhaka on Sunday and saw Quader at BSMMU.
The road transport and bridges minister fell ill in the wee hours of Sunday morning.
His wife Ishratunnesa Quader brought him to the hospital afterwards.
He has three arterial blocks and one of those has been removed by stenting, according to BSMMU Cardiology Department Prof Syed Ali Ahsan, who is leading a board overseeing his care.
As his condition was unstable, the doctors could not say when it would be safe to move him for better treatment abroad.
The 67-year old suffered a cardiac arrest at 3am, Prof Ahsan said.
He was put on ventilation and the arterial blocks were found in the angiogram, he added.
