Update : 12 Dec 2023, 11:54 AM

BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia, who has been undergoing treatment at Evercare Hospital in Dhaka, was taken back to a cabin on Monday night from the Coronary Care Unit (CCU).

Earlier, she was transferred to CCU when her health condition deteriorated. She was kept there for almost two hours, said Dr AZM Zahid Hossain. 

The 78-year-old former prime minister has been suffering from various ailments, including liver cirrhosis, arthritis, diabetes, kidney, lung, heart, and eye problems.

The BNP chairperson has been undergoing treatment at the hospital since August 9 for various health complications.

Since her conditional release from jail in 2020, the BNP chief has been receiving treatment at the hospital under a medical board headed by cardiologist Prof Shahabuddin Talukder.

Khaleda was sent to the Old Dhaka Jail after 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 the condition that she stay in her Gulshan house and not leave the country.
