Khaleda Zia returned to her Gulshan residence 'Feroza' from Evercae Hospital on Thursday evening after medical check-ups and treatment there for five days, said her personal physician Professor AZM Zahid Hossain.
He said, "Madam was discharged from hospital as per the decision of the medical board. The board has taken this decision after reviewing the tests. Now she will be treated at home.”
“Khaleda Zia left the hospital at 4:30 pm and reached home at 6:20 pm,” said the BNP chief’s media wing member Sayrul Kabir Khan.
Khaleda Zia was accompanied by Sharmila Rahman Sithi, wife of late Arafat Rahman Koko, at the hospital.
"She had some illnesses, some symptoms. That's why she was admitted to the hospital. After admission, she responded fairly well to the treatment given under the close supervision of the physicians,”said Professor Zahid Hossain.
She was admitted to the hospital on Saturday night for some medical tests and required treatment.
Her medical board member Dr AZM Zahid Hossain said the BNP chief was kept in a cabin under close observation of doctors and her condition improved a little as she was given treatment as per the advice of her medical board.
Khaleda, a 77-year-old former prime minister, has been suffering from various ailments, including liver cirrhosis, arthritis, diabetes, kidney, lung, heart and eye problems.
Since her conditional release in 2020, the BNP chief has been receiving treatment at the hospital under a medical board headed by cardiologist Prof Shahabuddin Talukder.
