Bangladesh President Zillur Rahman was on Monday flown to a specialised hospital in Singapore by an air ambulance following respiratory complications.
‘He is now undergoing dialysis at the Mount Elizabeth Hospital,’ an official of the Bangabhaban presidential palace said.
But the Daily Star newspaper reported the health condition of 85-year old had deteriorated as he reached the facility early Monday morning.
‘The President’s heart is not functioning,’ the report said quoting Rahman's family sources. Doctors could not start treatment for his respiratory complexities, for what he was taken to Mount Elizabeth Hospital, due to heart dysfunction, the sources added.
Rahman was earlier admitted at Combined Military Hospital at Dhaka cantonment on Saturday night as he complained of respiratory complications.
