Jamaat leader Succesfully undergoes heart bypass operation
Dr. Shafiqur Rahman, the Ameer of Jamaat-e-Islami in Bangladesh, underwent a successful coronary artery bypass surgery on August 2, 2025, at a private hospital in Dhaka[1][2][5].
The surgery was performed by Dr. Jahangir Kabir, a renowned cardiologist, due to multiple blockages detected in Dr. Rahman's heart[2]. Reports suggest that there were either three or five major blockages[3][4].
Following the surgery, Dr. Rahman is currently in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of the hospital for recovery[1][2][5]. As of August 3, 2025, he is reported to be in stable condition[5].
Dr. Rahman was admitted for medical care at United Hospital in Dhaka since mid-July[6]. The health scare occurred during Jamaat's national rally at Suhrawardy Udyan on 19 July, when he fell ill twice while delivering his speech and had to complete his remarks seated before being rushed to the hospital for examination[7].
The details of the surgery, including its completion without complications and the expected recovery timeline, have not been made public yet[1][2][5]. Recovery from coronary bypass surgery typically involves several weeks to months depending on individual circumstances, but no specific timeline has been disclosed for Dr. Rahman so far.
