The main opposition Bangladesh Nationalist Party chairperson Begum Khaleda Zia was admitted to Evercare Hospital in Dhaka at about 3.00am on Sunday as her health condition deteriorated.
Earlier, Khaleda Zia left her Gulshan residence at 2:30am by car.
As her condition deteriorated suddenly, the decision to take Khaleda Zia to the hospital was made on the advice of her medical team members.
The 78-year-old former prime minister has long been suffering from various ailments, including liver cirrhosis, arthritis, diabetes, and issues related to kidney, lungs, heart, and eyes.
Khaleda Zia was admitted to Evercare Hospital on March 13. She returned to her Gulshan residence the next day after undergoing a health check-up.
At that time, her personal physician AZM Zahid Hossain said the former prime minister would be readmitted to the hospital if necessary.
