BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia will be taken to a hospital in the capital on Wednesday afternoon for health check-ups.

She will be taken to Evercare Hospital after 3pm today for health check-ups as per the advice of her medical board, said the BNP chairperson's media wing member Sayrul Kabir Khan.

On November 13 last year, Khaleda Zia, a 76-year-old former prime minister, was readmitted to the hospital with various health complications.

Her medical board members earlier said Khaleda immediately needs to go abroad for better treatment as she was diagnosed with liver cirrhosis.

On behalf of her family, Khaleda's younger brother, Shamim Iskander, submitted an application to the Home Ministry on November 11 urging the government to allow her to go abroad for better treatment.

On December 28, 2021, the government said there is no legal scope to send Khaleda Zia abroad for her treatment.

On February 1 this year, she returned home after an 81-day stay in the hospital.
