BNP Chairperson and former prime minister Khaleda Zia has been placed on ventilation on Sunday night as her health has taken another critical turn.
“Begum Zia’s condition has turned critical again. She has been on ventilation support since last night,” BNP Vice-Chairman Advocate Ahmed Azam Khan told reporters on Monday.
The BNP leader added: “She has been moved from the CCU to the ICU and then placed on ventilation, or life support — whatever term is used. What I can say is that her condition is extremely critical.”
He also said that, in addition to physicians from the US and the UK who were already overseeing her treatment, specialists from China have now joined the medical team. “They are all working tirelessly together,” Azam Khan said, adding: “The rest is in Allah’s hands.”
Khaleda Zia has been undergoing treatment at Evercare Hospital since she was admitted on November 23 with multiple health complications.
