Jatiya Party acting chairman GM Quader on Thursday said the health condition of his brother HM Ershad, now undergoing treatment at the Combined Military Hospital (CMH), is not improving as per expectation of physicians.
"His (Ershad's) health condition remained unchanged over the last three days," he said.
GM Quader came up with the remarks while speaking at a press conference at Jatiya Party Chairman's Banani office, according to UNB.
The Jatiya Party acting chairman said his brother's drowsiness has increased and he remains asleep almost all the time.
"Doctors are not considering it as a good sign."
He said urea in Ershad's blood is now high, causing the drowsiness, and doctors are trying to control it. "The CMH doctors have been providing the former president the world-class treatment in consultation with specialist doctors at home and abroad."
Quader, however, said Ershad will be given advanced treatment if CMH doctors suggest.
"If necessary, we'll bring doctors from abroad."
He said neither the infection in his brother's lungs is easing as per expectation nor the kidneys are functioning properly.
The Jatiya Party leader said the doctors are working sincerely to ensure the best treatment to Ershad.
He urged the people of all religions to pray for the quick recovery of Ershad on Friday in their religious institutions.
Ershad, also the leader of the opposition in parliament, was admitted to the CMH on June 26 as his condition deteriorated.
The former military ruler has been suffering from various old age complications, including low haemoglobin and liver problem, high bilirubin and serious keen pain.
