BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia will be flown to London on Friday by an air ambulance for advanced medical treatment.
BNP chief’s personal physician Dr AZM Zahid Hossain disclosed the decision at a press briefing Thursday afternoon.
The former prime minister has been undergoing treatment at Evercare Hospital since November 23 after being admitted with multiple health complications. As her condition worsened, she was moved to the Coronary Care Unit on November 27, where she is still under close monitoring.
Doctors said Khaleda Zia is receiving intensive care for several complications related to her liver, kidneys and heart.
A medical board, led by Professor Shahabuddin Talukder, is supervising her treatment with support from specialist physicians.
The government has declared Khaleda Zia a "Very Very Important Person" and deployed members of the Special Security Force to ensure her safety.
A specialist doctor from the United Kingdom, Dr Richard Beale, and two teams of specialist physicians from China have already arrived in Dhaka to assist in her treatment.
