Condition of ailing Awami League general secretary Abdul Jalil, now undergoing treatment at Mount Elizabeth Hospital in Singapore, was learnt to have deteriorated.

DR Baren Chakravorti said the doctors of the Mount Elizabeth Hospital would observe Jalil for another three months before starting his kidney dialysis.

Dr Chakravorti, who recently visited Singapore, said he had talks with Jalil's physicians and his kidneys were not functioning well.

He is now under supervision of cardiologist Dr Philipco and kidney specialist Dr Akhiro.

Jalil, 67, left the country for Singapore on March 3 after release on one-month parole for proper treatment. He was admitted into LabAid hospital in Dhaka for various health complications, including heart and kidney problems.

The AL general secretary was shifted to an apartment beside the Mount Elizabeth Hospital on Thursdayfor reducing his treatment cost.
