BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia’s health condition remains unchanged, and a specialist from the United Kingdom is assisting in her treatment.

Doctor Richard Beale, who landed yesterday, reviewed her latest medical reports, consulted with the medical board formed for her treatment and made recommendations on the next course of action.

Around 9:00pm yesterday, a specialist medical team from China also arrived in Dhaka.

The four-member team includes senior specialists -- Cai Jianfang, Yuan Xin, Zhang Yuhui, and Meng Hong -- according to party sources.

The team has been brought in to assist in the treatment of Khaleda.

Medical board sources said the foreign experts would determine whether she is fit to fly.
