Farida Parveen had been suffering from kidney ailments for long time. In recent weeks, her condition had worsened to the point that she required dialysis twice a week, hospital sources said.
On September 2, she was taken to Universal Medical College Hospital in Mohakhali for her routine dialysis. However, following the procedure, her condition deteriorated, and physicians advised her immediate hospitalisation.
She was then admitted to the hospital’s ICU, where her condition remained critical. On Wednesday, her condition worsened further, and physicians decided to place her on ventilation support.
