Wednesday, 25 October 2023
BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia, who has been undergoing treatment at Evercare Hospital in Dhaka, was again taken back to a cabin on Tuesday afternoon from the Coronary Care Unit (CCU) after her stay there for about nine hours, reports UNB.
"Our leader Begum Khaleda Zia is very sick. Doctors have been saying repeatedly that she is very sick. She had to be taken to the CCU last night. Then she was taken back to a cabin around 12 pm," said BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir.
Speaking at a press conference at the BNP Chairperson's Gulshan office, Fakhrul said he talked to Khaleda's doctors about her health condition in the morning. "They (doctors) said Madam is now in a very alarming situation."
The BNP chairperson has been undergoing treatment at the hospital since August 9 for various health complications.
Khaleda Zia's personal physician Dr AZM Zahid Hossain said the BNP chief was shifted to CCU at around 3:30am as her condition worsened.
He said a medical board, headed by cardiologist Prof Shahabuddin Talukder, has been closely monitoring Khaleda's treatment and her physical condition.
Earlier, the BNP chairperson was taken to CCU several times while undergoing treatment at that hospital.
However, the law ministry denied permission to take her abroad for better treatment, suggesting that she must first return to jail to serve her graft sentence and then apply to the court to get permission in this regard.
