ISLAMABAD: Chairman of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Imran Khan has been declared in satisfactory health following a comprehensive medical examination at Adiala Jail.
A team of four doctors conducted the examination, including three from the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS) and Dr. Asim Younis from Shaukat Khanum Hospital.
The medical team recommended additional tests for Khan, with a detailed report to be submitted to the Islamabad High Court (IHC).
Earlier, on October 24, the IHC had directed the Executive Director of PIMS to form a medical board to assess the health of the 72-year-old former prime minister. The court had also ordered the inclusion of Khan’s personal physician, Dr. Faisal Sultan, in the board.
Justice Miangul Hassan Aurangzeb issued the order after resolving a petition filed by Khan. The court emphasized that Khan, as an under-trial prisoner, should have unimpeded access to qualified medical care within Adiala Jail.
The petition, filed by Khan, had requested a health evaluation conducted by his personal doctors.
