Malala Yousufzai, a prominent child activist shot in the head by Taliban, showed signs of improvement by moving her limbs. Though she remained unconscious and on a ventilator on Sunday.
Reports said a medical board in Armed Forces Institute of Cardiology (AFIC) conducted Malala’s tests and checkup and described her condition ‘satisfactory’ afterwards.
The decision on whether to remove the ventilation and move her to Dubai is yet to be taken, military spokesman Major General Asim Saleem Bajwa said, while talking to media.
He said an air ambulance was on standby to fly her abroad in emergency as the board has not yet decided on it, keeping in view her improvement.
“The sedation given to Malala was reduced on Saturday so that neurosurgeons could do their clinical assessment and as a result of it Malala responded and moved her hands and feet,” Bajwa said.
“It is a positive development,” Bajwa told reporters in AFIC, where Malala is being treated in a military hospital.
“It is a case of serious head injury and the progress is very slow in it” he added.
