Main opposition Bangladesh Nationalist Party chairperson Begum Khaleda Zia went to Evercare Hospital in Dhaka on Monday afternoon for health check-ups.
She left for Evercare Hospital at 4:15pm and reached there at 5:30pm for health check-ups as per the advice of her medical board.
Khaleda’s personal physician AZM Zahid Hossain said that the BNP chief would undergo routine health check-ups at the hospital.
He said the medical board formed earlier, led by Prof Shahabuddin Talukder, advised her to go to the hospital.
Zahid said that the medical board would 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.
On June 10 last, the BNP chief suffered a heart attack due to a 95 percent block in her left artery and a stent was placed there by removing the blockage at the same hospital the following day.
Doctors also found two more blocks in her blood vessels, but they could not remove those due to her health complications.
