Kaarina Kaisar, a lively and popular young content creator who had recently been building a career in acting and screenwriting, is set to be flown to Chennai this afternoon (May 11) by air ambulance for advanced treatment after being placed on life support due to severe liver complications.
The matter was confirmed to Prothom Alo by her father, former national footballer Kaisar Hamid.
Kaisar Hamid said, “We have just received the visa. The air ambulance will arrive this afternoon to take her to Chennai. There are huge hospital bills here, and a large amount of money is also needed for the air ambulance. My wife and I are breaking some fixed deposits, and we are also arranging to sell a piece of land. Hopefully, everything will be completed within today.”
Expressing concern over his daughter’s condition, he added, “Right now, the most important thing is to take her there safely and begin treatment as quickly as possible. I request everyone to pray for my daughter.”
Regarding Kaarina’s latest health condition, Kaisar Hamid said there had been no major improvement, although doctors have so far managed to keep her blood pressure under control.
Family sources said Karina had been unwell for several days. What initially appeared to be a common illness later deteriorated rapidly.
After being admitted to hospital, doctors reportedly detected an infection and confirmed that she had contracted Hepatitis A. She had also been suffering from fatty liver complications beforehand. As her condition worsened, she suffered liver failure last Friday (May 8) and was subsequently placed on life support.
