The office of President Bashar Assad has announced that Syrian first lady Asma Assad has been diagnosed with leukemia
Syrian first lady Asma Assad has been diagnosed with leukemia, the office of President Bashar Assad announced Tuesday. The president's wife was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia “after presenting with several symptoms and following a comprehensive series of medical tests and examinations,” the statement said.
Born and raised in the United Kingdom, although her family is originally from central Syria, the first lady is a powerful and divisive figure. She is under western sanctions and has been a highly controversial figure in the course of the Syrian conflict. She was an investment banker before quitting to marry the then-newly minted President Bashar Assad, in 2000.
