The condition of BNP chairperson Khaleda Zia remained stable at Evercare Hospital鈥檚 coronary care unit in the capital on Saturday.
The 79-year-old former prime minister鈥檚 condition is unchanged and she is under close observation of physicians, BNP press wing member Shairul Kabir Khan told 抖阴精品.
Khaleda Zia has long been suffering from various ailments, including liver cirrhosis, arthritis, diabetes, and issues related to kidney, lung, heart, and eye.
The BNP chairperson has been admitted to the hospital again recently.
Since her conditional release from jail in 2020, the BNP chief has been receiving treatment under a medical board headed by Evercare cardiologist professor Shahabuddin Talukder.
Khaleda was sent to the Old Dhaka Jail after a lower court sentenced her to five years鈥� imprisonment in the Zia Orphanage Trust corruption case on 8 February 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 25 March 2020, with the condition that she stays in her Gulshan house and not leave the country. That has since been extended multiple times to keep her out of jail.
Khaleda鈥檚 doctors have been recommending sending her abroad since she was diagnosed with liver cirrhosis in November 2021.
On 26 October 2023, three US specialist doctors completed the hepatic procedure known as transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS procedure) to stop water accretion in Khaleda Zia鈥檚 stomach and chest, and bleeding in her liver.
