Saima’s Role at WHO
Saima Wazed is the Regional Director for South-East Asia at the World Health Organization (WHO). Her 76-year-old mother, Sheikh Hasina, resigned from the prime minister’s position on Monday evening following weeks of protests related to job quotas, which resulted in over 400 deaths. Reports indicate that Sheikh Hasina fled Dhaka after the Bangladeshi army issued a 45-minute ultimatum.
