CMC student Aqib taken to hospital for bone transplantation
Mahadi J Aqib, a second year student of Chittagong Medical College (CMC), who was fatally injured in an attack carried out by rival student group, has been re-admitted to hospital. He was admitted for replacing a part of the bone of his skull.
Aqib is now going through some check-ups. However, it is not yet certain when the skull bone will be replaced.
Noman Khaled Chowdhury, professor of neurosurgery department at CMC, told Prothom Alo that Aqib was admitted to the cabin designated for students Sunday.
He is undergoing many tests. It will be decided later whether the part of his skull that was removed before can be replaced.
Aqib was attacked on the street in front of the college on 30 October last year due to a clash between two factions of CMC unit Chhatra League. He had head fracture. He was later admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of the hospital.
He then underwent surgery in the neurosurgery department to remove part of his ruptured skull and place it under the skin of his abdomen. On 17 November, Aqib recovered and returned home.
