Sharif Osman Hadi, a leader of the July Uprising, spokesperson of the Inqilab Moncho and a potential independent candidate for the Dhaka-8 constituency, will be flown to Singapore by air ambulance on Monday afternoon for advanced medical treatment.

Over the past two days, the government has contacted several hospitals in Singapore, Thailand and Malaysia regarding Hadi’s treatment.

On the instructions of Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus, the decision was taken during an emergency conference call involving Cultural Adviser Mostofa Sarwar Farooki; Professor Dr. Md. Sayedur Rahman, Special Assistant to the Chief Adviser for Health Ministry Affairs; Evercare Hospital specialist Dr. Zafar; and Hadi’s brother, Omar Bin Hadi, the Chief Adviser’s Press Wing said on Sunday.

The Press Wing said all necessary arrangements, including the medical air ambulance, medical team and travel-related preparations, have already been completed. Arrangements have also been made for his treatment at the Accident and Emergency Department of Singapore General Hospital. 

Special Assistant Professor Dr. Md. Sayedur Rahman informed the Chief Adviser that Hadi’s physical condition is remained unchanged.

All expenses related to Hadi’s treatment will be borne by the state, while the Chief Adviser has instructed the authorities concerned to keep his medical condition under constant observation.

The Chief Adviser has also sought prayers from the countrymen for Hadi’s speedy recovery.

Osman Hadi was shot by assailants in the capital's Bijoynagar area on Friday noon, triggering widespread concern and condemnation.
