BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia was admitted to a hospital in the capital early Saturday (June 22) as she fell sick, according to the party's media cell member Shairul Kabir Khan.

She was taken to Evercare Hospital from her Gulshan residence by an ambulance around 3:05am, he said.

"Madam was rushed to the Critical Care Unit (CCU) of the hospital at night as per her physicians' advise," he added.

Khaleda Zia last went to the Evercare Hospital on May 1 for some health tests. During the visit, doctors treated her at the CCU for two days.

On October 26 last year, three US specialist doctors performed the hepatic procedure known as transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS procedure) to alleviate fluid accumulation in Khaleda Zia's abdomen and chest, as well as to address bleeding in her liver.
