BNP Chairperson Begum Khaleda Zia, admitted to Evercare Hospital last week with Covid infection, was shifted to the coronary care unit (CCU) of the hospital on Monday with breathing problems.
"Madam was having shortness of breath in the morning. We’ve taken her to the CCU around 4pm,” said her personal medical team member Dr AZM Zahid Hossain.
“Her condition is now stable and the breathing problem eased slightly,” he added.
On Wednesday last, a 10-member medical board, headed by Prof Shahabuddin Talukder, was formed for the treatment of Khaleda Zia at Evercare Hospital a day after her admission there for a thorough health checkup.
