The condition of Awami League leader Mohammad Nasim who suffered a brain stroke last Tuesday was stable, doctors at LabAid hospital said yesterday.

Briefing reporters on latest health condition of Nasim, who suffered a brain stroke, Major (Retd) Dr AKM Mahbubul Haque said there was no active bleeding point at his brain but he apprehended haemorrhage might occur at any time.

He said an eight-member medical board formed for Nasim's treatment was scheduled to meet this evening to decide the next step of his treatment.

Responding to a query, Dr Haque said Nasim's family is bearing the expenses of his treatment. Asked why the hospital authority does not provide medical report to Nasim's family, the doctor said they got the patients from the jail authority so they provide the medical report to the jail authority. He said if the jail authority asks them, they can provide the medical report to Nasim's family members as well.

About the condition of Nasim's left eye, Dr Haque said Nasim's eye was not damaged rather he suffers from short of sight as left side of his body became paralysed.
