BNP Chairperson and former Prime Minister Khaleda Zia is likely to go to her son Tarique Rahman's residence on Friday evening after 17 days of intensive medical observation.
Khaleda's personal physician, Prof Dr AZM Zahid Hossain, said this while talking to reporters on Thursday night (London time).
"If everything goes well and the reports come in as expected, there is a possibility of Madam (Khaleda) being discharged from the hospital. The doctors here are yet to provide a discharge clearance, as some additional tests are being conducted on Friday. She might be discharged this evening," he said.
Even after discharge, Zahid said, the BNP chief will remain under the care of Professors John Patrick Kennedy and Jennifer Cross, as they are overseeing her treatment in consultation with her medical board.
"She (Khaleda) will be provided treatment following the UK's medical protocols," he said.
Khaleda was admitted to the London Clinic on January 8, right after she arrived in the UK aboard a special air ambulance sent by the Emir of Qatar. Since then, she has been receiving treatment at the hospital under the supervision of a medical board led by liver specialist Professor John Patrick Kennedy.
The 79-year-old BNP chairperson has been suffering from multiple health issues, including liver cirrhosis, kidney, heart, diabetes, and arthritis-related complications.
Asked about her current health condition, Dr Zahid said the BNP chairperson is generally feeling much better now, but no final decision has been made regarding the liver transplant.
