Summary Imran Khan’s August 10 medical report submitted to the Supreme Court records anxiety and recommends daily walks, relaxation activities and longer family meetings, alongside details of his treatment.
ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – The August 10 medical report of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan has been submitted to the Supreme Court, detailing his health condition, medical examinations and recommendations made by a board of specialists.
The report states that Khan, aged around 73, was examined on August 10 by a medical board comprising specialists in ophthalmology, cardiology and medicine. His anxiety level was recorded at three-plus, while his blood pressure was measured at 140/80 and pulse at 54 beats per minute.
According to the medical report, Khan’s ECG was normal, his chest was clear, and his heart valves and chambers were found to be normal. An echocardiogram, however, showed a slight E-to-A reversal.
During the examination, Khan complained of heaviness in his head and a rapid heartbeat. He did not report chest pain, chest heaviness or shortness of breath.
The medical board recorded his blood pressure and prescribed medication to help control his anxiety. It also did not rule out further cardiac investigations, including CT angiography, and recommended additional routine tests, including a complete blood count.
The board recommended that Khan take a one-hour walk daily and participate in mental relaxation activities to help manage his anxiety. It also advised that he be provided with magazines, newspapers, television access and study books.
The medical board further recommended increasing the duration of meetings between Khan and his family members and spouse, noting that greater family interaction could help manage his anxiety and blood pressure.
The report also details Khan’s ongoing treatment by an ophthalmologist for an eye condition. According to the medical records, one of his eyes has become almost normal. Several government doctors have also examined him, with records of the medical checkups available.
Separately, the superintendent of Adiala Jail submitted a two-page report to the Supreme Court concerning Khan’s health and meetings in prison.
According to the jail report, Khan and his wife regularly meet every Tuesday under the jail rules, with 84 meetings held so far. The report also mentioned meetings with lawyer Salman Safdar, who met the PTI founder on February 10 and April 4.
The Adiala Jail report referred to an assurance given by lawyer Salman Akram Raja during court proceedings that he would not speak to the media after meeting Khan. According to the report, no objection was raised regarding the matter during the hearing.
However, the jail authorities alleged that despite the court order, the media was addressed outside the jail following a meeting. The superintendent further claimed that prison meetings had been used to generate public sentiment against the judiciary, foreign policy and state institutions.
The report stated that Khan’s food and drinks are checked and that his medical condition is monitored three times a day. The superintendent said several government doctors had examined him and that the relevant medical records were available.
The jail authorities also highlighted his ongoing treatment by an ophthalmologist and said the condition of one of his eyes had improved significantly. They requested that the case be disposed of, citing the medical treatment and monitoring being provided to him.
The Adiala Jail report also referred to contempt of court proceedings, stating that the matter had been disposed of by a bench headed by the chief justice of the high court. It again mentioned Salman Akram Raja’s assurance regarding media interaction after prison meetings.
The report further referred to a single bench of the Islamabad High Court declaring Jail Rules 265 illegal. The jail authorities nevertheless maintained that prison meetings had been used to generate public sentiment concerning the judiciary, foreign policy and state institutions.
The submitted documentation includes summaries of Khan’s medical examinations during his time in custody. One section refers to 49 medical examinations conducted during his three years in custody, while another provides details of 39 examinations carried out from November 4, 2023, to August 10, 2026.
The records submitted to the Supreme Court therefore cover medical assessments conducted from November 2023 through August 10, along with details of Khan’s treatment, health monitoring and prison meetings.
The medical documentation and Adiala Jail report have been placed before the Supreme Court as part of proceedings concerning Khan’s health and access to prison meetings.
