BNP Chairperson and former Prime Minister Khaleda Zia was taken to Evercare Hospital in Dhaka on Wednesday evening for a scheduled health evaluation.
She arrived at the hospital from her Gulshan residence around 7:47 PM, according to BNP media cell member Sayrul Kabir Khan.
Khaleda’s personal physician, Professor AZM Zahid Hossain, said the 79-year-old leader would undergo a series of medical tests based on the advice of her medical board. “Once the test results are available, the board will determine the next steps in her treatment,” he added.
Khaleda Zia has been battling multiple chronic health issues for several years and is currently being treated at home under the supervision of a medical board comprising specialists from Evercare Hospital and her personal doctors.
She returned to Dhaka on May 6 after spending four months in London for advanced medical care, particularly for liver-related complications.
During her stay, she was treated by renowned liver specialist Professor Patrick Kennedy.
Her travel arrangements, including the use of a specialized air ambulance, were facilitated with assistance from Qatar’s Emir, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani.
Prior to her London trip, Khaleda Zia last visited Evercare Hospital for a check-up on September 12.
