Akram's wife critical: Sources

Karachi:

Former Pakistan captain Wasim Akram's wife Huma is said to be in critical condition at a Chennai hospital after she suffered a heart attack while flying to Singapore for treatment on a air ambulance.

Family sources said that doctors at the Apollo hospital had said the next 48 hours were critical for Huma as she had also a kidney failure, for which she had to undergo dialysis. "Her condition is not good at all and we can only pray for her recovery. Her vital organs have failed and she was put on a ventilator," one source said.

The source said that Huma had not been keeping well for sometime now and was advised to go to Singapore by Pakistani doctors.

"She suffered a heart attack on the plane when it stopped in Chennai for refueling, following which Huma was rushed to the hospital. The Indian doctors have been giving her the best treatment," the source said.
