On Monday, Adiala jail authorities informed the Supreme Court that former Prime Minister and PTI founder Imran Khan's eye condition had significantly improved, with his vision nearing normalcy. The report was delivered a day prior to the scheduled hearing concerning Imran Khan's request for specialized medical treatment at Islamabad's Shifa International Hospital.
Imran Khan, who has been incarcerated since August 2023, has been transferred to the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (Pims) in Islamabad multiple times for eye treatment following the discovery of right central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) in late January. The PTI and the government have been involved in a dispute over Imran's treatment, with the latter accusing the former of lacking transparency in ensuring proper care.
The PTI has also demanded that Imran be transferred to Shifa International Hospital, receive treatment under the supervision of his personal physicians, and be allowed to meet his family. In the newly submitted report to the Supreme Court, jail authorities stated that both Imran Khan and his wife Bushra were receiving adequate healthcare facilities, emphasizing that their health and well-being are of utmost importance to the jail administration.
