Khaleda Zia returns home after 5-day hospital stay

Former Prime Minister and BNP Chairperson Begum Khaleda Zia returned to her residence today after a five-day stay in hospital.

AZM Zahid Hossain, Khaleda's personal physician, said the medical board of the former premier scrutinised all the test results and decided to continue her treatment at home.

The BNP chief was taken to Evercare Hospital on Apr 29 for medical tests and was later admitted.

The 77-year-old former prime minister has been suffering from various ailments, including liver cirrhosis, arthritis, diabetes, and kidney, lung, heart, and eye problems.

Since her conditional release in 2020, the BNP chief has been receiving treatment at the hospital under a medical board headed by cardiologist Prof Shahabuddin Talukder.
