Qamar Javed Bajwa’s health update is drawing attention after unverified reports claimed the former Pakistan Army chief suffered a brain haemorrhage in February.
Initial updates shared around mid-February indicated that his condition was stable. He was said to be conscious, responsive, and able to recognise family members, with early tests showing no serious complications and was considered to be out of the danger.
In the weeks that followed, however, unverified accounts began to suggest a deterioration in his health. By early March 2026, some reports claimed he had developed a brain haemorrhage, allegedly linked to the earlier injury.
These claims also mention symptoms such as confusion, memory impairment, and difficulty recognising close relatives.
No official statement has been issued by the military or his family.
Bajwa, who led the Pakistan Army from 2016 to 2022, continues to remain a key figure in the country’s political discussions even after his retirement.
