BNP Chairperson Begum Khaleda Zia left for home from Evercare Hospital in the capital.
BNP media cell member Shayrul Kabir Khan confirmed this information at 7 pm on Wednesday (21 August).
Begum Khaleda Zia is being treated for a long time under the supervision of a medical board headed by cardiologist Professor Shahabuddin Talukder of Evercare Hospital in the capital.
Khaleda Zia was admitted to the hospital when she fell ill on June 22 last night. The next day a pacemaker was implanted in his heart. Before this, in October last year, three doctors from the world-famous Johns Hopkins Hospital in the United States came to Dhaka to treat his liver cirrhosis disease.
Begum Khaleda Zia returned home from the hospital on July 2 after treatment. Finally, on July 8, he was again admitted to the hospital due to a sudden drop in blood pressure and hemoglobin. Since then he is under treatment in the hospital. Khaleda Zia has had to be hospitalized at various times in the last four years after her conditional release by the government’s executive order. In the last six years, he has been treated at Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University and Evercare Hospital for more than one and a half years.
At the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic, on March 25, 2020, at the request of his family, the government granted him temporary release under two conditions through an executive order. The condition is that he has to take treatment from his home and he cannot go outside the country.
Immediately after the fall of the Awami League government, Khaleda Zia, who was under treatment in the hospital, was released. Later, when instructions were given to renew his passport, the passport department prepared it for handing over in just 2 hours. Later the renewed machine readable passport was handed over to her representative on behalf of the BNP leader undergoing treatment.
Begum Khaleda Zia has been suffering from various complex diseases including liver cirrhosis, heart disease, diabetes, arthritis and kidney for a long time.
