Update : 04 May 2023, 07:49 PM

BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia has returned to her residence in Dhaka' Gulshan area from th Evercare Hospital.

The medical board examined all the test results of the BNP chairman and decided to continue her treatment at home after a five-day stay in the hospital. 

Khaleda Zia was admitted to the hospital on April 29.

Former prime minister Khaleda Zia, 77, has been suffering from various ailments, including liver cirrhosis, arthritis, diabetes, and kidney, lung, heart and eye problems.

She visited the same hospital for medical check-ups on February 27. 

Khaleda received treatment at the hospital six times since she was infected with Covid in April 2021.

In November 2021, Khaleda Zia was diagnosed with liver cirrhosis.

On June 10 last year, the BNP chief suffered a heart attack due to a 95% block in her left artery and a stent was placed there by removing the blockage at the same hospital the following day.

Doctors also found two more blocks in her blood vessels, but they could not remove those due to her health complications.

Khaleda was sent to the Old Dhaka Central Jail as a lower court sentenced her to five years in jail in the Zia Orphanage Trust corruption case on February 8, 2018. Later, she was found guilty in another corruption case the same year.

Amid the Covid pandemic, the government temporarily freed Khaleda Zia from jail through an executive order suspending her sentence on March 25, 2020, on the condition that she would stay in her Gulshan home and not leave the country.
