Khaleda Zia admitted to hospital again

BNP Chairperson Begum Khaleda Zia has been admitted to Evercare Hospital in Dhaka as her health condition deteriorated overnight. 

She was taken to the hospital at around 3:30am on Sunday.

Khaleda Zia's medical team physician Prof AZM Zahid Hossain and Shamsuddin Didar, a member of the BNP chairperson's press wing, confirmed the matter.

Prof AZM Zahid Hossain said doctors decided to admit Khaleda Zia after seeing her physical condition. She is now in the Coronary Care Unit (CCU). 

This is the second time in a month that the former prime minister has been admitted to the hospital.

Since Khaleda Zia went to jail on February 8, 2018, the severity of her condition has fluctuated. During the Covid-19 pandemic, Khaleda went to the hospital several times after being released on condition by the government's executive order on March 25, 2020. In the middle of last year, her physical condition deteriorated.

On October 26, her physical condition began to improve after being treated by three specialist doctors from the Johns Hopkins Hospital in the United States.

Khaleda Zia returned home on the evening of January 11 after 156 days in the hospital.

Since then, she has been taken to Evercare Hospital for a health check-up after a few breaks.

She was also taken to the hospital for a physical examination at the beginning of February.
