BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia will go to Evercare Hospital in the capital on Monday (Feb 27) for a regular health check-up.

According to sources, the former prime minister will be taken to the Hospital at around 3:00 pm.

Khaleda, a 78-year-old former prime minister, has been suffering from various ailments, including liver cirrhosis, arthritis, diabetes, kidney, lung, heart, and eye problems.

Khaleda Zia was sent to the Old Dhaka Central Jail as a lower court sentenced her to five years imprisonment in Zia Orphanage Trust corruption case on February 8, 2018.

Later, she was found guilty in another corruption case the same year.

Amid the coronavirus outbreak, the government temporarily freed Khaleda Zia from jail through an executive order suspending her sentence on March 25, 2020, with conditions that she would stay in her Gulshan house and would not leave the country.
