Lutfozzaman Babar to Undergo Complex Spine Surgery in Malaysia Today
Lutfozzaman Babar, a member of parliament from Netrokona-4 (Madan, Mohanganj and Khaliajuri) constituency and former state minister for home affairs, is now in Malaysia for advanced treatment of a serious spinal condition.
He is scheduled to undergo a complex spinal surgery at a hospital in Malaysia today, Wednesday (November 11). He has asked the people of the country to pray for the successful completion of the surgery.
In a message posted on his official Facebook account, Mr. Babar confirmed the surgery. He said he wants to recover quickly and return to serving the country and its people.
He also sought prayers from people of all walks of life in his constituency, party leaders and activists, well-wishers and people across the country.
Family members and related sources said Mr. Babar had been suffering from several health problems since his long period in prison. Along with severe back pain, he has also been suffering from kidney problems and breathing difficulties.
He received regular medical treatment in Bangladesh after his release from prison. However, his spinal condition required advanced treatment. Later, he was recently taken to Malaysia on the advice of doctors.
After conducting the necessary medical tests and examining his physical condition, specialist doctors decided that he needed spinal surgery. Accordingly, November 11 was set as the date for the operation.
Golam Ershadur Rahman, general secretary of Mohanganj Upazila BNP, said Mr. Babar had been suffering from severe back pain and other health problems due to his long period in prison.
He said Mr. Babar was taken to a hospital in Malaysia because he needed advanced treatment despite receiving regular medical care in Bangladesh. His spinal surgery is scheduled to take place there today.
He also said they were praying for Mr. Babar’s quick recovery so that he could return to the people of his constituency and serve them again. They also asked people across the country to pray for his recovery.
