Khaleda Zia not in position to be discharged from hospital: Doctor

BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia's condition has not improved enough to be discharged from hospital, her personal physician Professor AZM Zahid Hossain said on Monday, reports UNB.
BNP chief has been receiving treatment in a cabin at Evercare Hospital for the last 26 days.
"Madam has been provided with treatment under close observation of the doctors and her medical board members. They're visiting her two or three times a day, conducting necessary tests and taking necessary measures accordingly," he said.
Zahid said Khaleda's medical board members are treating her in consultation with local and foreign doctors.
He said the doctors feel that it is necessary to keep Khaleda Zia under more close observation. "That's why she has to stay in the hospital for a few more days."
Asked when the BNP chief may get released from hospital, he said Khaleda's physical condition has not yet improved enough to take her home from the hospital. "So, the medical board still can't say specifically how many more days she will have to stay in the hospital."
Zahid said the BNP chairperson has to stay in the hospital for a few more days to continue her treatment under the supervision of the doctors.
Talking to the news agency, a member of her medical board, wishing anonymity, said the improvement in physical condition of Khaleda is very slow.
"She has been suffering from some very critical diseases and no hospital in Bangladesh has the capacity to give her the exact treatment that she needs now," the medical board member said.
