Addressing a press conference in Islamabad, Uzma detailed her account of Imran's hospital visit following the Supreme Court's directives. The court had ordered Imran's transfer to Shifa International Hospital for a medical examination, but instead, he was taken to the government-run Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (Pims). Information Minister Attaullah Tarar later disclosed that a team of doctors had examined Imran at Pims and found him \"medically fit.\" Uzma recounted her own visit on Friday night, mentioning that they were taken to a deputy superintendent of police's room and subsequently escorted to Pims in a police vehicle.

Imran has been admitted to Pims for treatment multiple times due to a right central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) he developed in late January.",
