The 74-year-old was taken to the hospital's ‘A’ block from her Cabin No 621 for treatment on Wednesday. The dental treatment was provided to Khaleda under the supervision of Mahmuda Akter, associate professor of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Department. Doctors said Khaleda has been suffering from fungal infections in her mouth and tongue caused by an uneven tooth which was fixed at the dental unit. The former prime minister was transferred to the BSMMU on Apr 1 this year for treatment from the old jailhouse on Nazim Uddin Road. The BNP chairperson will be shifted straight to the Keraniganj prison, not the old jailhouse, once her treatment at the hospital is over, said the government earlier.
