Bangladesh’s ailing former PM Khaleda Zia in CCU

Dhaka: Former Bangladesh prime minister and BNP chairperson Khaleda

Zia was on Thursday admitted to a coronary care unit (CCU) at a specialised hospital where she was being treated for several health issues, the party media cell said here.

The 80-year-old three-time prime minister and head of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) was

admitted to a cabin at the hospital on Sunday night when she developed a chest infection that affected both her heart and lungs.

“She is currently receiving treatment at the CCU under close observation of a medical board comprising

Bangladeshi and foreign doctors,” BNP media cell member Shairul Kabir Khan told reporters.
