BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia’s current physical condition is not suitable for transfer abroad, party Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir said at a press conference at the party’s central office in Gulshan on Saturday. Khaleda Zia’s condition, who is undergoing treatment at Evercare Hospital, is “somewhat critical”, and it is not possible to take the risk of taking her abroad right now.
Mirza Fakhrul said that he has met with local experts as well as doctors from Johns Hopkins and London Clinic in the US. They have given their opinion on the treatment method, but they do not consider it safe to transfer him abroad as his physical condition is currently not stable.
He said that work on visas and international communications is “significantly advanced” so that quick action can be taken if the need arises to take him abroad. If the situation improves, the decision to take him abroad can be implemented quickly.
The BNP Secretary General urged the public not to crowd in front of the hospital, saying that excessive crowding is disrupting medical activities and doctors are also facing difficulties.
