Pakistan's Supreme Court has ordered former Prime Minister Imran Khan to be transported to a private hospital for a comprehensive medical examination, following concerns raised by his legal team about his health. The 73-year-old ex-cricket star, who has been incarcerated since August 2023, will be moved to Shifa International Hospital in Islamabad within the next two days.
The court's decision came after prison medical records indicated Khan had experienced symptoms such as fluctuating blood pressure, palpitations, headaches, and restlessness. A court-appointed medical board, which will include a cardiologist, a general medicine specialist, and an eye specialist, will conduct the examination. Khan's personal physician, Dr. Faisal Sultan, will also be part of the board.
His family will bear the costs of the medical check-up. The court emphasized its decision to protect Khan's constitutional right to life and access to medical facilities. The hospital visit is subject to strict conditions, and Khan's family, doctors, and lawyers are prohibited from disseminating the medical report to the media or using it for political purposes.
