"The prime minister had asked him to give her updates on Zafrullah's health on a regular basis," read the press release.
It said Dr Zafrullah is very unhappy that the GR Covid-19 Rapid Antibody Kit did not get approval from the Directorate General of Drug Administration (DGDA).
He, however, thanked the DGDA and the Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU) because of their willingness to help Gonoshasthaya improve the kit.
Gonoshasthaya RNA Biotech Ltd has already come up with an improved version of the kit, and Dr Zafrullah hopes that this one will get DGDA approval.
Despite being ill, Dr Zafrullah is still working on setting up a 15-bed intensive care unit (ICU) in Gonoshasthaya Nagar Hospital, the press release further said.
