The medical team treating Bangladesh's former Prime Minister Khaleda Zia has indefinitely postponed her planned trip to London for treatment due to health concerns. Zia, 80, was scheduled to leave for London on Sunday after her initial plan to depart on Friday was delayed due to technical issues with the air ambulance provided by Qatar.
The medical board, comprising Bangladeshi and foreign doctors, has decided that it is not suitable for Zia to travel abroad at this time. Despite this, doctors are continuing to make arrangements for her treatment abroad. A medical ambulance is ready to fly her to London whenever the situation allows.
Zia's condition has been a subject of concern, and her son, Tarique Rahman, has expressed his desire to be with her during this time. Rahman, who is living in London, has been unable to return home due to unclear reasons. The medical board is confident that Zia will recover from her current health complications.
The postponement of Zia's trip has sparked concerns about her health, and supporters across Bangladesh have held prayers seeking her recovery. Zia's treatment was initially planned to take place in London, where she was treated for 17 days in January this year. The medical board is working to arrange for her treatment abroad, but the exact timing remains uncertain.
