Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz’s planned trip to England and Europe has been postponed due to health concerns, 24NewsHD TV Channel reported on Tuesday.
Initially set to depart tonight, CM Maryam’s flight was rescheduled after her doctors at the Sharif Medical City Complex allowed her to travel abroad, contingent on her health stabilising.
Sources said the CM Punjab's visit has been postponed for one day. Sources indicate that she suffers from a recurring thyroid issue, which may require surgery during her stay in London.
This trip would mark her first official foreign visit since taking office as Punjab's chief minister.
Yesterday, doctors at Sharif Medical City Complex, Lahore, allowed Maryam Nawaz, who had gone there for a checkup, to go abroad.
Meanwhile, Punjab Senior Minister Marriyum Aurangzeb, in her statement, confirmed that the chief minister had gone to the hospital on Sunday night, where she had a checkup.
Earlier there were reports that Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz had been admitted to the hospital due to health issues, making her departure abroad conditional on her doctor’s permission.
CM Maryam’s health deteriorated on Sunday, leading to her admission to the Sharif Medical City Complex, where physicians examined her.
It is noteworthy that the chief minister has been suffering from a throat infection for some time, which necessitated her trip to London for treatment.
During her stay in the UK capital, she'll be seeing her personal physician and may even undergo surgery to address the issue, which has been bothering her for quite some time.
