BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia is being taken to the Evercare Hospital in the capital’s Bashundhara Residential Area.
Khaleda’s medical team decided to take her to the hospital for treatment as her condition deteriorated suddenly, said ABM Abdus Sattar, her personal assistant.
The former prime minister has been suffering from various ailments, including liver cirrhosis, arthritis, diabetes, and problems in her kidneys, lungs, heart, and eyes.
Khaleda was freed from jail on March 25, 2020, after the government suspended her jail sentence for six months.
She walked out of prison at a time when the world was hit by the Covid pandemic.
On February 8, 2017, the BNP chief landed in prison after a special court in Dhaka jailed her for five years in the Zia Orphanage Trust graft case.
On October 30 the following year, the High Court enhanced her punishment to 10 years after dismissing her appeal in the case.
