Former prime minister Khaleda Zia's health condition deteriorated midnight Saturday. Members of her medical board checked her health condition at her home in Gulshan in the night and then, upon advice of the board, she was taken to hospital the same night. She was admitted to Evercare Hospital at 3:00 am Sunday.

When her health deteriorated once again in Saturday, she was taken to hospital where she is under close observation at the CCU.
Speaking at an iftar event in Dhaka yesterday, Sunday, BNP secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir said, "Today the former prime minister Khaleda Zia is fighting for her life in hospital. The government is toying with her life." He appealed to everyone to pray for their party leader's good health.

Khaleda Zia had been admitted to Evercare Hospital in Dhaka on 9 August last year. She was under treatment there for five months and on 11 January returned to her home in Gulshan.
Her family at the time appealed to the government to take Khaleda Zia abroad for better treatment, but the permission was not granted. Under the circumstances, the BNP chairperson, suffering from liver cirrhosis, underwent surgery on 27 October last year.
Three specialist physicians were flown in from the US to perform the surgery on Khaleda Zia. Once her health condition was somewhat stable, she was taken home after over five months.
Convicted in the Zia Orphanage Trust and Zia Charitable Trust corruption cases, Khaleda Zia's sentence was suspended conditionally for six months on 25 March 2020 under executive order of the government.
Since then, her release is being extended by suspending her sentence for every six months.
