ISLAMABAD: Former prime minister and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan was shifted from Adiala Jail to the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS) in Islamabad late Tuesday night for a medical examination and follow-up eye treatment.
According to an official statement issued by PIMS on Wednesday, Imran Khan was brought to the hospital during the night between November 10 and 11.
On the recommendation of an eye specialist, he was administered an anti-VEGF injection by the hospital’s ophthalmology department as part of his ongoing eye treatment.
The hospital administration said all his vital medical indicators were within normal limits and his overall physical condition was satisfactory and stable.
Jail sources said he was taken to the hospital under tight security and returned to Adiala Jail after the examination.
PTI Demands Specialised Medical Care
PTI Chairman Barrister Gohar Ali Khan said he learned about the hospital visit through media reports.
He renewed the demand for Imran Khan’s transfer to Shifa International Hospital in accordance with the Supreme Court’s August 18 directives.
Gohar also called for a medical board comprising Imran Khan’s personal physician and a family member to oversee his treatment.
In a post on X, he said the court’s directions had allegedly remained unimplemented for nearly three months and demanded comprehensive medical examinations and appropriate treatment.
IHC Orders Meetings with Lawyers
The development came a day after the Islamabad High Court (IHC) directed authorities to facilitate meetings between Imran Khan and his lawyers, Sardar Latif Khosa and Barrister Salman Safdar.
