The condition of Gonoshasthaya Kendra Founder and Trustee Dr Zafrullah Chowdhury is “not fully stable”, an official of Gonoshasthaya Nagar Hospital said yesterday.

“We can’t say his condition is critical. But it is not fully stable. He was suffering from breathing problems Thursday night while undergoing kidney dialysis. The dialysis could not be completed. He was then given oxygen,” the official told The Daily Star in the evening.

Earlier in the day, Dr Tanvir Chowdhury, assistant registrar at the hospital, said, “I just visited Dr Zafrullah in his hospital room. He still needs 6-7 litres of oxygen a day and he has breathing problems.” he said.

“We are not calling his condition entirely risky, but he is not out of danger as well,” the physician told this newspaper.
