Fauzia Wahab still in critical state

Former Pakistan People’s Party lawmaker and party information secretary Fauzia Wahab is in precarious condition and has been placed on a ventilator in the city’s hospital.
Earlier when her condition deteriorated on Sunday, she was admitted into the Intensive Care Unit of a private hospital, Orthopaedic and Medical Institute (OMI), in Karachi.
Wahab had earlier undergone a gall bladder surgery on Friday but her condition became serious late Saturday night.
Talking to media, the PPP leaders said that the ailing lawmaker suffered internal bleeding after her first surgery. On this, she summarily underwent a second surgery. However, her condition moved far from being stable.
Various high-ups in the government including President Asif Ali Zardari, Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani and National Assembly Speaker Dr Fehmida Mirza telephoned Wahab’s son, Ali Wahab, and inquired after her health.
Various political leaders including Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) Chief Altaf Hussain, Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Chief Mian Nawaz Sharif phoned her son regarding her health.
Several other political leaders including PPP’s Saeed Ghani, Latif Mughal, Sindh Chief Minister Qaim Ali Shah and MQM leader, MQM’s Sindh Health Minister Dr. Sagheer and Minister for Ports and Shipping Babar Ghauri visited the hospital and inquired about her condition.
