ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan was transferred from Adiala Jail to the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS) under tight security after reportedly feeling unwell. He was returned to prison after undergoing a medical examination and necessary tests.
According to jail sources, Imran Khan arrived at the hospital at 1:40 a.m., where a specially designated team of doctors examined him. The medical assessment included checks of his blood pressure, temperature and eyes.
After spending approximately 90 minutes at the hospital, he was taken back to Adiala Jail at 3:25 a.m.
Sources said the special medical team would also issue a detailed report on his health. Imran Khan had previously undergone a medical examination at the prison on November 8.
Lawyer Raises Concerns Over Imran Khan’s Health
Meanwhile, Imran Khan’s lawyer, Barrister Salman Safdar, told reporters outside the court that delays in providing timely medical treatment could expose the former prime minister to serious health risks, including a brain haemorrhage and a heart attack.
According to the lawyer, Imran Khan’s blood pressure had reportedly reached 192 on November 1. He also said he had requested the court to arrange hospital treatment for Imran Khan and his wife, Bushra Bibi, and establish an independent medical board to assess their health.
Bushra Bibi’s Eye Surgery and Medical Concerns
Barrister Salman Safdar said Bushra Bibi’s next eye surgery had been scheduled for November 15. However, she had expressed reservations about receiving further treatment from her previous doctors or at the same hospital.
The lawyer also objected to her transfer back to prison immediately after her first surgery and called for the relevant medical reports to be obtained.
He stressed the need for proper medical attention and transparency regarding the health conditions of both Imran Khan and Bushra Bibi.
