Former prime minister Khaleda Zia was previously admitted to the same hospital for treatment on June 13 and returned home on June 17.
She has been suffering from various ailments, including liver cirrhosis, arthritis, diabetes, and kidney, lung, heart and eye problems.
Khaleda, a 77-year-old former prime minister, has been suffering from various ailments, including liver cirrhosis, arthritis, diabetes, kidney, lung, heart, and eye problems.
She has received treatment at the same hospital six times since she was infected with Covid-19 in April 2021.
In November 2021, Khaleda Zia was diagnosed with liver cirrhosis.
On June 10, the BNP chief suffered a heart attack due to a 95% blockage in her left artery and a stent was installed the following day.
Doctors also found two more blocks in her blood vessels, but they could not remove them due to her health complications.
Khaleda was sent to the Old Dhaka Central Jail as a lower court sentenced her to five years' imprisonment 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 coronavirus outbreak, the government temporarily freed Khaleda Zia from jail through an executive order suspending her sentence on March 25, 2020, with conditions that she would stay at her Gulshan house and would not leave the country.
