Bangladesh's former Prime Minister, Khaleda Zia, faced another delay in her planned medical evacuation to London. Set to travel on Sunday, technical issues with the air ambulance from Qatar led to a postponement, leaving her medical team in a challenging situation.
Her personal physician, Dr. AZM Zahid Hossain, emphasized that the medical board concluded it was not advisable for Zia to travel abroad at the moment. Despite these hurdles, efforts continue to prepare for her eventual travel as her condition remains critical at Dhaka's Evercare Hospital.
Her son, Tarique Rahman, who is in self-imposed exile in London, expressed his longing to be with his mother through a Facebook post. With political implications surrounding her health, discussions about leadership within the BNP party have intensified.
