Former Bangladesh Prime Minister Khaleda Zia, 80, is in an "extremely critical" condition, according to her personal physician, Dr. AZM Zahid. She has been hospitalized since November 23 at Evercare Hospital in Dhaka for multiple health complications and was placed on ventilator support on December 11. Doctors stated her condition has not improved and urged prayers for her recovery. Her son, Tarique Rahman, visited her at the hospital. The BNP prefers advanced treatment abroad, but her current state prevents air travel.
