Preparations are underway to take BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia to London and then to a third country for advanced treatment.

BNP Standing Committee Member and Khaleda Zia's personal physician Professor AZM Zahid Hossain told the Daily Observer, "Everything depends on her health condition. She will be flown to to UK if her health permits." 

He said, "As part of the process, we are securing a long-distance specialised air ambulance with communication facilities. She will be initially flown to London, where, after a brief stopover, she will be taken to a third country with multidisciplinary medical facilities."

"We hope to complete all the formalities soon so that Madam can travel  soon," said Zahid. 

He said, Khaleda Zia's office has already informed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs regarding her treatment abroad, and   doctors, nurses and relatives who will accompany her.

The 79 year old former Prime Minister has for years battled various ailments, including liver cirrhosis, arthritis, diabetes, and issues related to the kidneys, lungs, heart, and eyes.

On October 26 last year, three US specialist doctors completed the hepatic procedure known as the transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt to stop water accretion in Khaleda Zia's stomach and chest, and bleeding in her liver.

Khaleda's doctors have been recommending sending her abroad since she was diagnosed with liver cirrhosis in November 2021.
