In 2019, Nawaz Sharif on November 19 left for London in an air ambulance for medical treatment for multiple diseases after the Lahore High Court allowed him to travel abroad for four weeks and rejected the Imran Khan government’s condition of furnishing an indemnity bond.
Sharif, 69, was accompanied by his younger brother Shehbaz Sharif and his personal physician Adnan Khan. He left for London via Qatar in a “high-end” air ambulance which arrived from Doha.
Sharif was taken to Harely Street Clinic upon arrival in London for his treatment and if required he may be shifted to Boston (US) for further treatment.
