Dhaka, Dec 6: The medical board treating critically ill Bangladesh’s former prime minister Khaleda Zia on Saturday postponed her planned travel to London for an indefinite period, her personal physician said.
The three-time premier Zia was scheduled to depart for London on Sunday after her plan to leave on Friday was postponed as an air ambulance offered by Qatar could not reach Dhaka due to technical issues.
Dr AZM Zahid Hossain, her personal physician and also a member of the party’s policy-making standing committee, told reporters that doctors continued their “highest-level efforts” to arrange Zia’s treatment abroad, while a medical ambulance was fully ready to fly her abroad whenever the situation suits her travel.
