BSMMU medical board checks Khaleda’s medical papers

A five-member medical board of Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU) examined BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia’s previous medical papers on Sunday.

The board went to her cabin on the 5th floor of Cabin Block at the hospital at 11:30am and examined all the papers for 15 minutes.

They will decide about her treatment, said Brigadier General Abdullah Al Harun, director of BSMMU, after examining the papers.

Now, the treatment will continue as before.

Khaleda Zia was admitted to the BSMMU since Saturday afternoon after the prison authorities shifted her there from old Dhaka Central jail for better treatment in response to a court order.

The current medical board, headed by Dr Abdul Jalil Chowdhury, a professor of medicine department, was formed as per the court order as well, according to UNB news agency.

The development came after the High Court on Thursday directed the government to immediately admit Khaleda to the BSMMU and form a five-member medical board afresh for her treatment.

Khaleda Zia has been behind bars since she was sentences to five years of imprisonment in the Zia Orphanage Trust corruption case on February 8.
