Former prime minister will be accompanied by 14 people, including six doctors and two Special Security Force members, according to her adviser Enamul Haque Chowdhury, who informed Jamuna Television. Air ambulance will arrive in Dhaka early tomorrow from Qatar, with departure planned approximately two hours later.

Khaleda Zia will be taken to the same London clinic where she previously received treatment. One doctor from London is already in Bangladesh providing advice for this transfer. Qatari government has approved the same air ambulance that previously facilitated her travel to London and return.

Once the aircraft arrives at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport, the chairperson will be transported to it, possibly via helicopter from Evercare Hospital. However, BNP has not formally announced the official mode of transport yet.

Delegation includes her daughter-in-law Syeda Shamila Rahman, personal doctors Dr Abu Jafar Mohammad Zayed Hossain, Dr Fakruddin Mohammad Siddiqi, Dr Shahabuddin Talukdar, Dr Nuruddin Ahmed, Dr Jafar Iqbal, and Dr Mohammad Al Mamun, as well as her adviser Dr Enamul Haque Chowdhury. Two SSF members and her assistants Abdul Hai Mallick and Masudur Rahman, along with two attendants Fatema Begum and Rupa Sikder, will also accompany her.

Decision to transfer her abroad was made after assessing her current health condition at Evercare Hospital. She has been admitted there since November 23 and in the ICU since November 27. Her medical team has been evaluating whether she can endure a long journey.

Meeting of her medical board, which includes local and international specialists from the UK, USA, and China, has determined that she is fit for the air ambulance transfer. These experts include Prof Dr Shahabuddin Talukdar, Prof Dr Nuruddin Ahmed, Prof Dr FM Siddiqi, Prof Dr AKM Mohsin, Prof Dr Shamsul Arifin, Prof Dr Ziaul Haq, Prof Dr Jafar Iqbal, Prof Dr Abu Jafar Mohammad Saleh, Prof Brig Mohammad Saiful Islam, and foreign consultants including Prof Dr Richard Beldon, Prof Dr Shakil Farid, Prof Dr Goll Stone, Prof Patrick Ken, Prof Jennifer Cross, Prof Dr Haibur Rahman Lulu, Prof Dr Rafiquddin Ahmed, Prof Dr John Hamilton, Prof Dr Hamid, and Prof Christ Georgia Addis, along with specialists from Kunming University Hospital (China) and Beijing National Heart Institute.

Security and logistics have also been arranged, with the Special Security Force managing the area to allow a safe transfer without disruption from supporters. Medical board will accompany her on the flight to provide continuous care, ensuring that the journey is safe.
