Since her arrival, she has attended several meetings with members of Khaleda Zia's medical board.
Although she had been joining earlier meetings virtually, she met the board members in person for the first time on Friday.
Rumon said Zubaida has been closely monitoring Khaleda Zia's condition round the clock. "Even when she goes home, she stays in constant touch with the doctors by phone to stay updated about her mother-in-law's health."
The BNP chief has been receiving treatment at Evercare Hospital since 23 November and was moved to the Critical Care Unit on 27 November with multiple health complications.
Khaleda's treatment is being supervised by a medical board led by Professor Shahabuddin Talukder, with both local and foreign specialists involved.
Dr Zubaida Rahman – also a member of the medical board – arrived in Dhaka from London to accompany her mother-in-law abroad once she is cleared to fly.
