Hasina agrees to receive treatment in country

Hasan JahidTusher
Detained Awami League (AL) President Sheikh Hasina has finally agreed to receive treatment in the country and is likely to be taken to a city hospital in a day or two.
The former prime minister prefers Square Hospital for treatment and check-ups, while the jail authorities suggest she should undergo treatment at Bangabandhu Sheikh Mu jib Medical University (BSMMU).
Deputy Inspector General (prisons) Major Shamsul Haider Siddiqui said, "Taking her to a hospital is a serious matter. If
things are alright, we will finalise everything tomorrow [today] after discussions with higher authorities.”
He said he heard about her wishes regarding treatment from the television news. It would be better if she chooses BSMMU, he added.
Queried. Maj Haider said they would probably take her to a hospital today or tomorrow.
Meanwhile, rumours were rife that she could be taken to hospital anytime last night.
Sources in the jail administration told The Daily Star that tight security measurers would be in place on her way to hospital and also duringher stay there.
A huge contingent of police and Rapid Action Battalion (Rab) personnel would be deployed to ensure security of the AL chief who might be taken to hospital in the wee hours to avoid the press, added the sources.
Hasina has been suffering from high blood pressure and allergy, and has problems in her eyes, ears and kidneys.
Earlier on Thursday, the jail authorities agreed to send her to any hospital she picks, but she kept refusing to have medical checkups, except for her eyes, fearing foul play.
Sheikh Fazle Noor Tapash. one of her counsels, told The Daily Star that her personal choice would be Square Hospital.
"She has already conveyed her decision to the jail authorities and now it's all up to them," he added.
Hasina also told her counsels that she would not have check-ups under any doctor other than her personal ones.
Talking to The Daily Star, Dr Abdullah said she should have tests on liver and kidneys, ECG, chest x-ray and a blood lipid profile.
Saying that her overall condition was better yesterday, he said the AL chief is having severe problem hearing since both her aids have been damaged. She needs to go to the US as the treatment she needs for ear ailment is not possible here, he observed.
