Khaleda Zia released from hospital after 81 days

BNP chairperson Begum Khaleda Zia has been released from Evercare Hospital in the capital on Tuesday 81 days after she was admitted.

Khaleda Zia is now on her way to Gulshan residence Firoja, the party sources said. 

Khaleda Zia, a 76-year-old former prime minister, has been receiving treatment at Evercare Hospital for various health complications since November 13.

Her medical board members said Khaleda immediately needs to go abroad for better treatment as she was diagnosed with liver cirrhosis.

On behalf of her family, Khaleda's younger brother, Shamim Iskander, submitted an application to the Home Ministry on November 11 urging the government to allow her to go abroad for better treatment.

The government still did not dispose of the application while the ministers are saying the BNP chief has no scope to go abroad until she files a fresh application returning to jail.
