RAWALPINDI: Doctors are still undecided whether Malala Yousafzai will be taken abroad for further treatment, according to the Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR)
In a statement issued here by the ISPR, it is stated that the arrival of an air ambulance was part of the plan and if required the air ambulance will be used to transport Malala.
Earlier on Saturday, Director General ISPR Maj Gen Asim Bajwa said that Malala Yousafzai's condition was steadily improving and as a result the critically injured 14-year old was now being administered a lower dose of sedatives.
"Movement has been witnessed in Malala's hands and legs which is a positive development," Maj Gen Bajwa said.
He said the doctors have cut down the amount of sedatives being administered to Malala Yousafzai in view of the steady improvement in her health condition. Her condition is satisfactory, he added.
The DG ISPR said the board of doctors has not yet made any decision in connection with taking young Malala abroad. The doctors are constantly busy in taking post-traumatic care of their patient, he said.
He, however added, that Malala is still on a ventilator and it would be premature to say anything in regard to the removal of the ventilator at the moment.
Two other girl students wounded with Malala were "also being taken care of at places where they can get best treatment", he said, without elaborating.
