Recommendations to take Khaleda abroad for treatment

The medical board formed for BNP chief Khaleda Zia’s treatment has recommended to take her abroad for advance treatment.

They said, “Khaleda Zia needs to go abroad for better treatment urgently”.

Medical board sources on Tuesday (May 4) said, “Khaleda Zia is currently undergoing treatment at the capital’s Evercare Hospital. She has been put on oxygen in the Coronary Care Unit (CCU).”

A source claiming anonymity said, “An application on behalf of Khaleda Zia’s family has been submitted to the government seeking permission for her better treatment in abroad. But no response has yet been made.”

However, BNP media wing officials said that they knew nothing in this regard.

Meanwhile, Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal said that no application has yet been submitted to the government on behalf of her family or the party.
