Former Prime Minister and BNP Chairperson Begum Khaleda Zia has returned to her Gulshan residence in Firoza after being treated at the capital's Evercare Hospital for 81 days.
She arrived home around 8:30 pm on Tuesday (February 1).
Earlier, at 7:20 pm, she left the hospital for home. In preparation for taking Khaleda Zia to her residence, corona tests have already been done on all those working at the residence. The whole residence has been cleaned. It is learned that she is being considered for treatment at home. Therefore, all the initial arrangements for treatment have been kept in her house.
The medical board of Begum Khaleda Zia, formed by the Evercare Hospital authorities, held a press conference at 6.30 pm this evening to discuss the release of the BNP chief. It was informed that according to the decision of the medical board, the BNP chairperson has been released.
It was further informed at the press conference that Khaleda Zia's condition is now stable. Life is not in crisis. Yet the fear of re-bleeding remains. Begum Khaleda Zia will continue her medical services at home under the supervision of the Medical Board instead of a hospital as the situation in the country is not good. The reason for this is that if the corona is infected, the condition will go out of control.
Doctors said she was released from the hospital but could not be treated for liver cirrhosis. They also said that although TIPS is needed, it is not possible in the country.
The press conference was attended by the Chief of the Medical Board of Evercare Hospital for Begum Khaleda Zia Professor Dr. Shahabuddin Talukder, the head of the private medical board formed to treat Khaleda Zia Dr. Professor FM Siddiqui, Professor Sheikh Md. Abu Jafar, Dr. Md. Zafar Iqbal, Dr. Md. Sadiqul Islam, Professor AQM Mohsin, Professor Arefin, Professor AZM Zahid Hossain and others.
