Khaleda at Evercare Hospital for health check-up

Live Correspondent: BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia went to Evercare Hospital in the capital on Monday afternoon for health check-ups. "Madam [Khaleda] left for Evercare Hospital at 4:15 pm and reached there at 5:30 pm for health check-ups as per the advice of her medical board,” said her media wing member Sayrul Kabir Khan.

Zahid said the medical board will decide her next course of treatment after assessing her health condition and test reports.

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

She received treatment at the same hospital six times since she was infected with Coronavirus in April, 2021. In November 2021,  Khaleda Zia was diagnosed with liver cirrhosis.

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' 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.
