Several samples have been given for examining her physical condition. The medical board will make further decisions today (August 10), if the report is received by this time.

The BNP chairperson was admitted to the hospital around 8:30pm as per the advice of her medical board, party sources said.

Earlier, Khaleda Zia was taken to the hospital as she was experiencing some fresh health complications.

After reaching the hospital, some tests of the BNP chief were conducted and her medical board advised hospitalisation on emergency basis for better treatment.

Khaleda Zia was previously admitted to the same hospital for treatment on June 13 and returned home on June 17.

Khaleda, a 77-year-old former prime minister, has been suffering from various ailments, including liver cirrhosis, arthritis, diabetes, kidney, lung, heart, and eye problems.

On June 10, the BNP chief suffered a heart attack due to a 95% blockage in her left artery and a stent was installed the following day.

Doctors also found two more blocks in her blood vessels, but they could not remove them due to her health complications.

After getting conditional release, Khaleda Zia has been staying in her Gulshan residence Feroza since March, 2020.
