Two United States-based physicians reached Dhaka on Wednesday to treat former prime minister and Bangladesh Nationalist Party chairperson Khaleda Zia.
The physicians came to Dhaka in the evening.
According to the BNP, the government has given permission to three US-based physicians to come to Bangladesh to treat Khaleda Zia.
One of them came to Dhaka earlier.
The three physicians are Christos Georgiades, James Peter Adam Hamilton and Hamid Ahmed Abdur Rabb.
Khaleda Zia, who is now undergoing treatment at Evercare Hospital in the capital, has been undergoing treatment there since August 9 with multiple health complications, including liver cirrhosis, arthritis, diabetes, kidney, lung, heart, and eye problems.
The medical board recommended that Khaleda be urgently sent to a multidisciplinary centre abroad as there are no options available for her now in Bangladesh.
The board also said that the 78-year-old former prime minister’s life was at risk because of a lack of proper treatment to stop water accretion in her stomach and chest, internal bleeding, and infections caused by her liver cirrhosis problem.
