LAHORE (Dunya News) – Maryam Nawaz – following her meeting with his father and former premier Nawaz Sharif in Lahore’s Kot Lakhpat jail – took to Twitter on Saturday to state that his father’s kidney function has deteriorated at stage three.

She further stated that authorities were arranging for a specialist to examine him at the jail.

Nawaz’s personal physician Dr Adnan also met him along with Maryam Nawaz. The meeting went for about two hours, during which Dr Adnan inspected Sharif’s health.

“Presence of MNS’s personal physician during the examination is vital,” she said, adding that they have submitted a written request to the Punjab home office.
