Not Qatar, air ambulance for Khaleda to arrive from Germany

The special ambulance, being facilitated by the Emir of Qatar, will now arrive in Dhaka from Germany, instead of Qatar, to carry former Prime Minister and BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia to London for further treatment, if her health condition permits traveling abroad.

A spokesman at the Embassy of Qatar in Dhaka confirmed this adjustment to UNB on Friday afternoon, December 5. "It will now come from Germany with support from Qatar."

He, however, did not tell the time of its arrival in Dhaka, indicating that BNP will decide when they need the air ambulance.

The air ambulance was initially expected to come from Qatar.

Khaleda Zia was admitted to Evercare Hospital on the night of November 23 on the advice of the medical board after being diagnosed with infections in her heart and lungs.

She is also suffering from pneumonia and is currently receiving treatment at the hospital, under the supervision of both local and foreign specialist doctors.
