Medical Team from Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS) Conducts Check-Up
A four-member medical team from the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS) visited the jail to assess Imran Khan’s physical condition. The team was led by Dr. Altaf Hussain, an ENT specialist, and included Dr. Umar Farooq from the Dental Department, Dr. Muhammad Ali Arif from General Medicine, and Dr. Tashfeen Imtiaz from General Surgery. The medical examination lasted for approximately 30 minutes.
PTI Raises Concerns About Khan’s Treatment and Health
The medical visit comes in the wake of multiple allegations raised by PTI leaders regarding the former prime minister’s treatment while in custody. PTI’s Information Secretary Sheikh Waqqas Akram had claimed that Khan was being held in solitary confinement, with no access to family members or medical visits. These claims have raised concerns about his health, as his family physician has also reportedly been denied access to him.
There have been unconfirmed reports speculating that Khan might be transferred to a different location, although there has been no official confirmation regarding these claims. Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur had stated last month that Khan would “soon be shifted elsewhere,” but no further details have emerged.
