The ventilator of Dhaka North City Corporation (DNCC) Mayor Annisul Huq, now in a London hospital ICU, will be removed at a convenient time on Thursday as doctors want to wake him up from ‘medically-induced sedation’ in a normal way, reports the UNB.

Dr Abdun Noor Tushar, a popular TV host of Bangladesh, provided the update in a Facebook post in the morning saying it is a complex process.

‘Doctors will keep working to bring back normalcy in his body gradually. We expect he’ll respond to medicines strongly,’ Dr Tushar said mentioning that he was given the responsibility to convey the updates to all.

The other treatment processes will also continue, he added.

Annisul, suffering from neurological problem (dizziness and lack of balance) for the last two months, was admitted to the hospital on August 13. He was then diagnosed with cerebral vasculitis at the hospital.

Annisul flew to London in the last week of July on a personal tour.
