Main opposition Bangladesh Nationalist Party chairperson Begum Khaleda Zia was taken to Evercare Hospital in the capital on Thursday evening for health check-up.
She arrived at the hospital from her Gulshan residence around 6:45pm.
The BNP chairperson would undergo several tests at the hospital as per the advice of her medical board.
The medical board would decide whether she needs to be hospitalised further after observing her health condition and assessing the test reports.
On January 11, the BNP chief returned home from Evercare Hospital after receiving treatment for various health complications for over five months.
Since then, she has been receiving treatment at her Gulshan residence under the medical board that was formed earlier at the Evercare Hospital.
On August 9 last year, she was admitted to the hospital as she fell sick.
The 78-year-old former prime minister has long been suffering from various ailments, including liver cirrhosis, arthritis, diabetes, and issues related to kidney, lung, heart, and eye.
On October 26, three US specialist doctors completed the hepatic procedure known as transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS procedure) to stop water accretion in Khaleda Zia’s stomach and chest, and bleeding in her liver.
Khaleda’s doctors have been recommending sending her abroad since she was diagnosed with liver cirrhosis in November 2021.
