Computer tomography for Ogtay Gyulalyev

Baku / 08.11.19 / Turan: Human rights activist Ogtay Gyulalyev was disconnected from an artificial apparatus and began to breathe himself, but this does not mean that his condition has improved, said his   wife Firangiz Gyulalyeva.

According to her, the health of her husband being treated in Turkey remains critical. 

“The fact is that Ogtay’s brain is full of liquid. The brain must restore its function so that the health of Ogtay improved. A second CT scan (computed tomography) was made yesterday. The results should be known today. On their basis, doctors will hold a consultation and prescribe injections into the brain. Only after that it will become known what the probability of restoration of brain function is,” said F. Gyulalyeva.

A well-known human rights activist was hit by a car on October 29 in the center of Baku. His injure resulted in a head injury that resulted in cerebral hemorrhage.

A few hours later, the activist fell into a coma. On October 30, a neurosurgical operation was performed on him in Baku.

Turkish specialists who arrived on November 5 at the invitation of the Heydar Aliyev Foundation to examine Gyulalyev recommended that he be taken to Turkey for treatment.

On November 6, he was dispatched by AZAL’s special flight to Istanbul and placed in the Avrasia Clinic.
