BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia reached Evercare Hospital in the capital Monday afternoon for health check-ups.
"Madam [Khaleda] left for Evercare Hospital at 3:57 pm and reached there at 4:45 pm for health check-ups as per the advice of her medical board,” said Khaleda’s personal physician AZM Zahid Hossain.
Khaleda, the 77-year-old former prime minister, has been suffering from various ailments, including liver cirrhosis, arthritis, diabetes, kidney, lung, heart and eye problems.
Earlier on June 10, the BNP chief suffered a heart attack due to a 95 per cent block in her left artery and a stent was placed there by removing the blockage at the same hospital the following day.
Doctors also found two more blocks in her blood vessels, but they could not remove those due to her various old-aged complications.
