The condition of Abdullah Al Mamun, a noted actor, playwright and director, is said to be critical, and he has been provided with artificial life support at the Square Hospital in the city.
Mamun was admitted to the hospital on July 10 with acute coronary syndrome along with diabetes, hypertension, kidney and liver complexities.
“But he could not be provided with coronary treatment as he had a bypass surgery before and was diagnosed with subdural haematoma (bleeding in the brain) soon after admitting to the hospital. So he underwent an operation in his brain and has been kept in intensive care unit (ICU) with artificial life support since July 13,” said Dr Mirza Nazimuddin.
Though his blood pressure is normal now and the CT Scan of brain shows no further bleeding in the brain, his condition is still critical, he told The Daily Star yesterday.
