BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia has been shifted to a cabin from the coronary care unit (CCU) at Evercare Hospital where she was under close observation for the last week.
The party chief’s media wing member Sayrul Kabir Khan confirmed the matter to the media on Wednesday.
On Sunday, three blockages were found in the arteries of Khaleda through a coronary angiogram test conducted on Saturday, her physician Professor AZM Zahid Hossain had said.
Zahid, also a BNP vice chairman, said Khaleda suffered a heart attack due to around a 95% blockage in her left artery. “A stent has been placed there by removing the blockage.”
