Khaleda admitted to Evercare

Khaleda Zia, the chairperson of the BNP, was admitted to the capital's Evercare Hospital on Saturday night for certain diagnostic procedures and necessary care.

The BNP leader will have more medical testing tomorrow, according to the recommendation of her medical board, said Dr AZM Zahid Hossain, a member of her medical team.

The BNP chief arrived at the hospital from her Gulshan home at 6:45 p.m. 

As recommended by the doctors, Zahid added, she was later admitted to the hospital.

Zahid said the medical board is expected to review the test reports and decide on the next course of her treatment.

Khaleda, a 77-year-old former prime minister, has been suffering from various ailments, including liver cirrhosis, arthritis, diabetes, kidney, lung, heart and eye problems.

 

Since her conditional release in 2020, the BNP chief has been receiving treatment at the hospital under a medical board headed by cardiologist Prof Shahabuddin Talukder.
