Khaleda Zia returns home from hospital

Former Prime Minsiter and BNP Chairperson Begum Khaleda Zia returned to her Gulshan residence today evening after receiving treatment for four days at Evercare Hospital in the city.

"Madam was discharged from the hospital as per the decision of the medical board. The board took the decision after reviewing her medical test reports. Now she will be treated at home," said her personal physician AZM Zahid Hossain.

The BNP chief left the hospital at 6:35pm and reached home at 7:50pm.

She was admitted to Evercare Hospital early Tuesday as she suddenly fell sick with a fever and stomachache. Later, she underwent various medical examinations under the close supervision of her medical board at the hospital in the city's Bashundhara area.

Khaleda, 78, has long been suffering from various ailments, including liver cirrhosis, arthritis, diabetes, 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.
