Bangladesh Ex-PM Khaleda Zia on Ventilator
Khaleda Zia, who was the Prime Minister of Bangladesh three times, is very sick.
She is 80 years old and has been in the hospital since November 23.
Her breathing got worse, and doctors had to put her on a machine to help her breathe.
She has problems with her heart, kidneys, and other parts of her body.
Doctors are taking care of her with a team of specialists.
They asked people not to spread wrong information about her health.
She was supposed to go to London for treatment, but the special plane couldn't come, so she is staying in the hospital in Dhaka.
Khaleda Zia, former Bangladesh PM, was put on ventilator support due to deteriorating health.
Her breathing difficulties increased, leading to a drop in oxygen levels and a rise in carbon dioxide levels.
She has been undergoing treatment at Evercare Hospital in Dhaka since November 23 for multiple health complications.
Doctors detected severe issues including infective endocarditis, acute pancreatitis, and kidney failure requiring dialysis.
Her scheduled transfer to London for treatment was delayed due to the unavailability of an air ambulance.
