Former Prime Minsiter and Bangladesh Nationalist Party chairperson Begum Khaleda Zia returned home from the Evercare Hospital on Tuesday evening after 81 days due to increasing the risk of infection of Covid-19.
A car carrying the former prime minister left the hospital around 7:30pm on Tuesday
Addressing a press conference at the hospital, Khaleda Zia’s medical board chief Fakhruddin Mohammad Siddiqui said that Khaleda Zia’s health was now stable but not totally cured.
He said that Khaleda Zia was still suffering from intermitted internal bleeding as she still needed advance treatment abroad.
Khaleda was readmitted to Evercare Hospital in Dhaka on November 13, six days after she had returned home from the hospital.
Khaleda’s younger brother Shamim Iskander applied to the home ministry on November 11 urging the government to allow her to go abroad for better treatment.
On March 25, 2020, amid the Covid-19 situation, the government suspended her jail sentences in two cases and released her from the prison cell of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University on conditions that she would take medical treatment at home and would not leave the country.
