Khaleda Zia to be taken to hospital after iftar

BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia will go to the hospital again for a health check-up.

She will be taken to the capital's Evercare Hospital from her home Firoza after iftar on Wednesday, according to the BNP chairperson's press wing officer Shamsuddin Didar.

Since Khaleda Zia went to jail on February 8, 2018, the severity of her condition has fluctuated. During the Covid-19 epidemic, 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.

BNP Vice Chairman and Khaleda’s personal physician Dr AZM Zahid Hossain and the BNP chairperson's Private Secretary ABM Abdus Sattar confirmed the matter, Didar said.
