She underwent a biopsy at the same hospital on October 25 as she has a small lump in one part of her body.
The BNP chief’s doctors’ said the biopsy was conducted to detect the nature of the origin of the lump.
But neither Fakhrul nor doctors did say anything about the biopsy report.
The BNP chief has been undergoing treatment under a medical board formed earlier. Her physicians said she has been suffering from rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes, ophthalmological and dental complications.
Her family applied to the government twice in May and August this year seeking permission to take her abroad for better treatment, but the government turned it down saying there is no scope for a convict to avail of such an advantage.
On April 27, Khaleda was admitted to the Evercare Hospital with Covid infections. She received treatment there until June 19 for post-Covid complications and some other underlying health problems.
