Her personal physician and BNP Standing Committee member, Professor Dr. AZM Zahid Hossain, confirmed the information on Thursday. He said both local and foreign specialists on the medical board are closely monitoring her condition at the CCU.
A member of the medical board said, “Madam has pneumonia. Treatment is ongoing. Due to multiple health complications, it is not possible to administer all treatments simultaneously. There are risks. Various tests have been conducted, and the reports show mixed results—some good, some concerning.”
