Khaleda Would Recover If She Treated Abroad: Medical Board

BNP chairperson Begum Khaleda Zia has been undergoing treatment at the Evercare Hospital in the capital since June 10. Doctors at the medical board said the BNP leader could recover if she was treated abroad.

This was stated by Prof. Dr. Shahabuddin Talukder and Dr. FM Siddiqui at a press conference on Friday (June 24) afternoon.

They said that new problems arose after placing the ring on BNP leader Khaleda Zia's heart. There are complications due to side effects. Meanwhile, Covid infections are increasing again in the country. Khaleda Zia is being taken home despite the risk of infection. She will be kept under constant monitoring at home. If complications arise, she will be brought to the hospital.

They also said that although the complications of Khaleda Zia's kidney could be solved to some extent, internal bleeding is the big challenge now. Her treatment is not possible in the hospital. If she is treated abroad, maybe she will recover.

It may be mentioned that 76-year-old Khaleda Zia was admitted to Evercare Hospital in Bashundhara on June 10 with chest pain. A quick angiogram was then performed and a stent was placed in her heart. She is being treated under a medical board headed by the hospital's special physician Professor Shahabuddin Talukder. Although one block was removed, doctors said two more blocks were found in Khaleda Zia's heart.
