A 10-member medical board, formed for the treatment of BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia, sits Tuesday afternoon at Evercare Hospital to review her health condition.
The former prime minister, who has tested positive for Covid-19, is now undergoing treatment at the hospital in Dhaka.
She was shifted to the Coronary Care Unit (CCU) on Monday after experiencing shortness of breath.
Khaleda Zia's personal physician Dr Abdullah Al Mamun told Dhaka Tribune that after reviewing her health condition, the medical board will give an opinion on whether she needs treatment abroad.
Her condition is stable now but can deteriorate at any time, he said.
"Because, she has been suffering from various health problems for a long time before being infected with Covid-19."
He said: "Considering his physical condition, we agree that she should be taken abroad for advanced treatment at this time. Since her family is in London, she can get treatment there."
Family sources said preparations are underway to take him to London for better treatment.
