Khadiza shifted to high dependency unit

Physicians at Square hospital in Dhaka said that Khadiza Akhter Nargis, who was hacked by a Bangladesh Chhatra League leader in Sylhet, was shifted to the high dependency unit from intensive care unit, as her condition improved on Saturday.

‘She needed no more mechanical ventilation and invasive blood pressure monitoring… that is why we have shifted her to high dependency unit from intensive care unit today’, the hospital brain and spine surgeon AM Rejaus Satter told New Age.

Rejaus, under whom Khadiza was being treated, informed that she was still unconscious, but sometimes she was responding to calls blinking her right eye.

‘It’s an achievement that her senses are working sometimes’, he said.

The physicians earlier on Thursday said that Khadiza’s left side including leg, hand and eye, had been paralised due to the injures at the brain. Her life-support was also pulled off on Wednesday night.

Shahjalal University of Science and Technology unit of the ruling Awami League-backed student body Chhatra League assistant general secretary Badrul Alam hacked Khadiza on October 3 when she came out of her examination hall at Murari Chand College in Sylhet city.

Khadiza was shifted to the Square hospital on October 4.

Her brother, Shahin Ahmed, said that doctors had neither assured nor frustrated them about Khadiza’s full recovery.
