Online Desk: Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) chairperson Khaleda Zia, who was admitted to Evercare Hospital in the capital early Tuesday, is now doing well. Quoting doctors and BNP’s Vice-Chairman Zahid Hossain, the party’s media cell member Shayrul Kabir Khan informed this to media on Wednesday noon.

The 78-year-old former Prime Minister Khaleda Zia was admitted to the hospital as early Tuesday (June 13) as she fell sick. She has been suffering from various ailments, including liver cirrhosis, arthritis, diabetes, kidney, lung, heart, and eye problems since long. She received treatment at the same hospital six times since she was infected with Coronavirus in April 2021. In November 2021, Khaleda Zia was diagnosed with liver cirrhosis.

Meanwhile, Khaleda was sent to the Old Dhaka Central Jail as a lower court sentenced her to five years’ imprisonment in the Zia Orphanage Trust corruption case on February 8, 2018. Later, she was found guilty in another corruption case the same year.

Amid the coronavirus outbreak, the government temporarily freed Khaleda Zia from jail through an executive order suspending her sentence on March 25, 2020, with conditions that she would stay at her Gulshan house and would not leave the country.
