Ahmed Hamim Labib, a class five student of Charfashion Model Government Primary School, was diagnosed with leukemia in 2000.

He was undergoing treatment at Green View clinic in the city under the supervision of Dr ABM Yunus. As his condition improved a bit, the boy appeared at the school final examination and stood second.

But the disease relapsed and Labib is now undergoing treatment at Haematology department under the supervision of Dr MA Khan of Dhaka Medical College Hospital.

The boy is treated with chemotherapy that costs Tk 6,000 every day and his condition is deteriorating.

It is an urgent need to take the boy abroad in three months, as he requires bone marrow transplantation now, said Dr MA Khan.

It would cost Tk 40 lakh and father of Labib, Headmaster of Shashibhushan Secondary School of Bhola Foyz Ahmed finds it quite impossible as he has already spent Tk 12 lakh during the last six years.

Charity for Labib also organised a press briefing at the Rashid building at DMCH to save life of the brilliant student Labib yesterday and urged the generous people and organisations to extend helping hands for the treatment of Labib.

Convenor of the Charity for Labib and former captain of national cricket team Aminul Islam Bulbul was present at the press briefing.
