BNP Chairperson Begum Khaleda Zia is responding positively to ongoing treatment at Dhaka’s Evercare Hospital, according to her personal physician and party standing committee member Dr. AZM Zahid Hossain. Speaking to reporters on Wednesday night, Dr. Zahid confirmed that the former prime minister remains under intensive care and is receiving the highest level of medical attention available in the country. Earlier in the day, Home Affairs Adviser Lt. Gen. (Retd.) Jahangir Alam Chowdhury visited the hospital to assess her condition and spoke with the medical team. Dr. Zahid noted that while the medical board had previously considered transferring Khaleda Zia abroad, her current health and technical issues with the air ambulance prevented the move. He emphasized that she is now stable enough to receive treatment locally and urged the public not to believe rumors. The medical board, operating under the supervision of acting BNP Chairman Tarique Rahman, includes both local and foreign specialists. Khaleda Zia has been hospitalized since November 23 after a lung infection worsened her condition, leading to her transfer to the Critical Care Unit on November 27.
