The government has taken an initiative to send Sharif Osman Hadi, a key leader of the July mass uprising, spokesperson of Inqilab Mancha and a potential independent candidate for the Dhaka-8 constituency, to Singapore for advanced medical treatment.

Osman Hadi will be flown to Singapore on Monday afternoon by an air ambulance, the Chief Adviser’s Press Wing said.

The decision was taken on Sunday following an emergency conference call, held on the instructions of Chief Adviser Prof Muhammad Yunus. The call was attended by Cultural Affairs Adviser Mostofa Sarwar Farooki, the Chief Adviser’s Special Assistant on Health Affairs Prof Dr Md Sayedur Rahman, Evercare Hospital specialist Dr Jafar, and Osman Hadi’s brother Omar Bin Hadi.

Over the past two days, the government contacted several hospitals in Singapore, Thailand and Malaysia regarding Osman Hadi’s treatment.

Based on recommendations from Evercare Hospital’s specialist medical team and after consultations with family members, the Chief Adviser was informed about the need to take him abroad for treatment.

Prof Dr Md Sayedur Rahman informed the Chief Adviser that Osman Hadi’s physical condition is currently stable and unchanged.

All necessary arrangements, including a medical air ambulance, accompanying medical team and travel-related preparations, have already been completed. Singapore General Hospital’s Accident and Emergency Department has made full arrangements for his treatment.

All medical expenses related to Osman Hadi’s treatment will be borne by the state. The Chief Adviser has directed the concerned authorities to keep the entire treatment process under constant monitoring.

The Chief Adviser has also sought prayers from the country’s people for Osman Hadi’s speedy recovery.
