Majority leader Ahmed Nihan has been admitted today at the Intensive Care Unit because of a worsening lung infection. His family is hoping to fly him to India for further treatment tomorrow.
The Progressive Party of the Maldives’ MP was first hospitalised on Friday night after complaining of chest pains. He was briefly treated at the ICU and then kept under observation at the ADK Hospital.
PPM MP Riyaz Rasheed said Nihan’s health is improving now.
“He was not transferred to ICU this time because of any deterioration but because doctors want him to get proper rest, something that can be rather hard to get when you have visitors all the time,” he said.
