Zubaida at Khaleda's bedside at Evercare Hospital

Zubaida Rahman, the daughter-in-law of BNP chief Khaleda Zia, has visited the former prime minister at Evercare Hospital in Dhaka, where she has been receiving critical care for more than two weeks.

Zubaida reached the hospital on Saturday afternoon after leaving her parents’ home in Dhanmondi, according to Atiqur Rahman Rumman, a BNP media cell official, bdnews24.com reports. 

“[She] reached Evercare Hospital at 3:38pm. She is by the bedside of the party chairperson in the CCU," he said.

Zubaida, the wife of BNP Acting Chairman Tarique Rahman, flew into Dhaka from London on Friday with the intention of accompanying her mother-in-law abroad for advanced medical care.

Zubaida, a physician by training, is herself a member of the medical board. While she had previously joined consultations virtually, she attended in person after arriving in the country.

Party officials said she has been monitoring Khaleda's condition “constantly”, even when away from the hospital.
