Former Bangladesh Prime Minister Khaleda Zia is in an "extremely critical" condition, according to her personal physician, Dr. AZM Zahid. The 80-year-old BNP chairperson has been hospitalized since November 23 with multiple health complications and is currently on ventilator support. Her son, Tarique Rahman, visited her at Evercare Hospital in Dhaka. While the BNP wishes for her to receive advanced treatment abroad, her condition currently prevents air travel, so care continues in Bangladesh.
