Gonoshasthaya Kendra (GK) Founder and Trustee Dr Zafrullah Chowdhury has been kept on oxygen support as his condition worsened further with coronavirus infection.
Gonoshasthaya Samaj Vittik Medical College Deputy Principle Dr Mohibullah Khandaker confirmed the matter to the media on Friday (June 5) evening.
Dr Zafrullah Chowdhury isn’t doing well. He was stable without any oxygen support yesterday. But today, he has been put on oxygen support and other supportive treatment, said Dr Mohibullah.
“We are expecting him to recover”, he added.
Earlier around 10:00 in the morning, Gonoshasthaya’s public relations officer Md Farhad told The Business Post that though Dr Zafrullah had suffered respiratory problems last night, he was comparatively better in the morning.
Zafrullah is currently undergoing plasma therapy treatment for the second time at the Gonoshasthaya Nagar Hospital, an institution he founded, after being tested positive for Covid-19 on May 25.
He also underwent dialysis for the third time on the night of May 30.
Moreover, his wife Shirin Haque and son Barish also tested positive for Covid-19.
