Islamabad: The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party has demanded that former prime minister Imran Khan undergo a computed tomography angiography (CTA) at Shifa International Hospital, following reports that he was unable to receive the procedure during a recent hospital visit. The PTI condemned the authorities for their "continued failure" to carry out the recommended test and reiterated their demand for Imran to be transferred to Shifa International Hospital without delay.
The party's Information Secretary, Sheikh Waqas Akram, highlighted that doctors had already recommended the CTA on August 1 due to Imran's fluctuating blood pressure, palpitations, headaches, and the potential risk of cardiac complications. Despite multiple assessments and recommendations, Imran was returned to Adiala jail without undergoing the crucial test.
Akram accused the authorities of negligence and political interference, stating that the decision to transfer Imran to a facility lacking the necessary equipment raises serious concerns. He called for the transfer to Shifa International Hospital and the supervision of independent specialists and Imran's personal physicians, urging the immediate disclosure of his complete medical records to ensure his health is not subjected to political calculations and delay.
