DHAKA, November 24 — Begum Khaleda Zia is now in the hospital. Doctors admitted the BNP Chairperson after her health got worse.
She entered Evercare Hospital in Dhaka earlier today (Monday, November 24). Doctors diagnosed her with lung and cardiac infections.

Treatment Details
Khaleda Zia has been fighting several long-term diseases for months. Her medical team found that she had both a serious lung infection and heart problems related to it.

“Doctors moved her to the Coronary Care Unit (CCU),” a hospital source confirmed. “She needs close watching and strong treatment for both infections right away.”

A group of specialist doctors is currently watching the political leader closely. Her party, the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP), asked people across the nation to pray for her quick recovery.

Her medical team will provide more detailed updates on her specific condition later today.
