BNP Chairperson Begum Khaleda Zia underwent health checkups at Evercare Hospital in the capital on Wednesday night.
She arrived at the hospital from her Gulshan residence around 7:47pm and stayed there for nearly four and a half hours.
The BNP chairperson underwent several tests at the hospital as per the advice of her medical board.
Later, the BNP chief left the hospital and reached her residence around 12:08am.
Khaleda's personal physician, AZM Zahid Hossain, said the medical board formed earlier, led by Prof Shahabuddin Talukder, advised her to go for the health checkup at the hospital.
"She underwent various necessary medical tests at the hospital,” he said.
Zahid said the medical board will decide the next course of her treatment.
The 79-year-old former Prime Minister has been suffering from multiple health complications for several years.
She has been receiving treatment at her home under the supervision of a medical board consisting of specialists from both Evercare Hospital and her personal team of doctors since she returns home from London on May 6 after undergoing four months of advanced treatment.
During her stay in London, she received advanced medical care under the supervision of liver specialist Professor Patrick Kennedy.
Her travel to London and return home were arranged with the support of a special air ambulance provided by Qatar’s Emir, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani.
Before departing for London, the BNP Chairperson last visited Evercare Hospital on September 12 for a health check-up.
