US-Bangla pilot Abid’s wife on life support
Afsana Khanom, wife of pilot Abid Sultan who died in the US-Bangla aircraft crash in Kathmandu, has been kept on life support at the National Institute of Neurosciences & Hospital.
Dr Shiraji Shafiqul Islam, an assistant professor of the institute, said Afsana Khanom was put on life support as her condition deteriorated on Sunday night-reports UNB.
Afsana was admitted to the hospital on Sunday following a stroke and the doctors conducted a surgery on her, said Dr Shiraji.
She had multiple clotting in the right side of her brain and as a result her body’s left side became paralyzed, he said.
Dr Badrul Alam, Joint Director of the institute said Afsana was a diabetic patient and suffered the stroke because of stress.
Abid Sultan, who sustained injuries in the plane crash, died at Norvic Hospital in Kathmandu a day after the incident.
US-Bangla Airlines flight BS211, which flew from Dhaka to Kathmandu carrying 67 passengers and four crewmembers, crashed at Tribhuvan International Airport in the capital of Himalayan country of Nepal on Monday, leaving 49 people, including 26 Bangladeshis, dead.
