LONDON: Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) founder and leader Altaf Hussain has been hospital-ised at a North London hospital after developing several complications, including a “stress” on his heart.
Hussain’s party officials told Geo News that Hussain was taken to the hospital on Thursday due to se-vere illness, where various tests were conducted. “The doctors decided to admit him to the hospital for further treatment,” said senior London-based MQM leader Mustafa Azizabadi.
Qasim Ali Raza, Deputy Convener MQM Central Coordination Committee said on Friday: “Today, doc-tors at a local hospital in London examined Mr Altaf Hussain, prescribed various diagnostic tests includ-ing blood tests, ECG, CT scan, X-ray and ultrasound.
Mr Altaf Hussain has long been suffering from severe emotional stress. Doctors also recommended a blood transfusion for his treatment and blood has been transfused.”
Hussain was previously admitted to the intensive care unit of the same hospital after contracting Covid-19 in February 2021. He contracted Covid-19 twice in the same year but recovered.
Sources said that Hussain was brought to the hospital after an injury on his feet didn’t heal for several days.
The source said: “He’s a sugar patient. While he was dealing with this, he started feeling a lot of pres-sure on his heart, and his colleagues rushed him to the hospital. He is now stable.” –Agencies
