BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia will visit Evercare Hospital on Saturday afternoon for health check-ups.
"Madam (Khaleda) is scheduled to go to Evercare Hospital around 3pm today for health check-ups as per the advice of her medical board,” Sayrul Kabir Khan, a media cell member of BNP, told UNB.
Khaleda, a 77-year-old former prime minister, has been suffering from various ailments, including liver cirrhosis, arthritis, diabetes, kidney, lung, heart and eye problems.
She visited the same hospital for health check-ups on February 27 last. Khaleda received treatment at the same hospital six times since she was infected with Coronavirus in April, 2021.

In November 2021, Khaleda Zia was diagnosed with liver cirrhosis.
On June 10 last, the BNP chief suffered a heart attack due to a 95 percent block in her left artery and a stent was placed there by removing the blockage at the same hospital the following day.
Doctors also found two more blocks in her blood vessels, but they could not remove those due to her health complications.

Khaleda was sent to the Old Dhaka Central Jail as a lower court sentenced her to five years' imprisonment in the 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 will stay in her Gulshan house and will not leave the country.
