“The head of the medical board briefed him on Khaleda Zia’s complete condition. It was informed that experts from two top US hospitals as well as doctors from Britain, China and other countries are monitoring her treatment,” Yunus’ press wing said in a statement after his visit to Evercare Hospital.
