He indicated that there is no indication as yet as to when Khan will be returning home. At the post-Cabinet news conference at the OPM in St Clair, Young said certain media reports which claimed Khan suffered a heart attack were incorrect, Young explained, “It is a complication to do with his heart and brought on by a viral infection.

They found fluid in his lungs and they are treating that situation now.” Indicating that it was Prime Minister Dr Keith Rowley who advised the Cabinet about Khan’s situation, Young said, “There has been conversation directly with Minister Khan and Mrs Khan.

Young told reporters that before attending the briefing, he saw a photograph of Khan in his hospital gown with a “Frankie Khan smile on his face.” He said preparations are being made to have Khan return to Trinidad as soon as he is in a proper state to travel.

Indicating that Government is monitoring the medical treatment which Khan is receiving in Thailand, Young said, “Our understanding is that the facilities in Thailand, and especially where he is receiving medical attention, are world class facilities.” On Khan’s Facebook page yesterday, people continued posting their good wishes to him for a speedy recovery and urging him to keep on smiling.
