Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus visited the National Institute of Neurosciences and Hospital today, where he checked on several individuals critically injured during the recent student-led uprising.
“He (Prof Yunus) personally observed the condition of four students currently receiving treatment in the hospital’s Intensive Care Unit,” said hospital director Kazi Deen Mohammad during a briefing with the press.
The director added that the students had sustained gunshot wounds to the head but were showing signs of recovery.
Professor Yunus also expressed concern for others who suffered severe injuries at the hands of security forces during the uprising that took place between July and August.
In total, at least 11 people, including eight students from various universities and colleges, have been admitted for treatment at the Agargaon-based hospital. The chief adviser was accompanied by joint director Badrul Alam and other senior physicians during his visit.
