LAHORE (Dunya News) – The medical report of former prime minister and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz supremo Nawaz Sharif has been sent to Punjab Home Department.
According to Dunya News sources, his medical report stated that Sharif is suffering from heart related issues and he may need a doctor for 24 hours.
The report further recommended the authorities to shift the PML-N supremo to cardiac hospital as Sharif is diagnosed with heart related issues in the Thalassemia test.
The medical board went on to say that the former prime minister’s blood pressure and sugar level is under control, however, information could be gathered from Sharif’s personal doctor regarding his heart related issues.
On Thursday, the incarcerated former premier was shifted back to Kot Lakhpat jail from Services Hospital in Lahore.
The PML-N supremo had refused to be shifted to Punjab Institute of Cardiology (PIC) and insisted to be taken back to jail. “I had already been shifted to PIC before being taken to Services Hospital,” Nawaz said.
Earlier in the day, Sharif s daughter Maryam Nawaz and mother also met him at the hospital. Maryam Nawaz said her father’s health is better but she is still worried. Nawaz’s mother, Shamim Begum, prayed for both Nawaz and Shehbaz Sharif.
The former premier was shifted to Services Hospital on February 3 and underwent various medical tests to ascertain severity of different diseases he is suffering from. The official said the tests had detected a stone in Sharif’s left kidney.
On February 6, the Islamabad High Court (IHC) adjourned hearing of a bail petition filed by Sharif in the Al-Azizia reference case on the basis of medical grounds till February 12.
Medical reports of former premier were presented in the court and IHC directed National Accountability Bureau (NAB) to submit its reply regarding the case.
The petition had sought bail and suspension of Sharif’s sentence with a reasoning that he has been suffering from heart and kidney problems along with hypertension.
The accountability court on December 24 convicted Sharif in the Al-Azizia reference and sentenced him to seven years in prison, and acquitted him in the Flagship reference case filed by the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) in Mega corruption scandal.
