PTI welcomes SC decision

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) expressed satisfaction on Tuesday following a Supreme Court ruling instructing that former Prime Minister Imran Khan be transferred to Shifa International Hospital in Islamabad. The court also mandated the formation of a medical board comprising specialist doctors to thoroughly examine Khan's health.

PTI's statement on the matter echoed Khan's family, party, and personal physicians' long-standing request for his provision of top-notch medical care under qualified specialists' supervision. The party anticipates the court's orders being executed promptly and without any delay. PTI emphasized that Khan should be moved to Shifa International Hospital, where a multidisciplinary medical board should carry out an extensive evaluation of his health status, including ophthalmology, cardiology, and other relevant fields.

The inclusion of Khan's personal physician, Dr. Faisal Sultan, and his sister, Dr. Uzma Khan, on the medical board would be crucial to ensure a comprehensive and unbiased assessment of his medical history, current symptoms, and treatment. Additionally, PTI highlighted that Khan should be granted appropriate access to his family, in line with the apex court's directions, while fully respecting his legal and fundamental rights and dignity.

The party urged party workers, office-bearers, supporters, and Khan's well-wishers to abide by the court's directives and avoid assembling outside Shifa International Hospital. PTI called upon all relevant authorities to adhere to the top court's orders in letter and spirit, ensuring Khan receives the highest standard of medical care.
