The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founding chairman, Imran Khan, underwent a complete medical examination at Adiala Jail, with a four-member team of doctors concluding that his health was satisfactory.
According to the 24NewsHD TV channel, the doctors, including three from the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS) and Dr Asim Younis from Shaukat Khanum Hospital, conducted the examination.
The doctors' team advised additional medical tests for PTI founder Imran Khan. The medical report will be prepared and submitted to the Islamabad High Court (IHC).
Previously, on October 24, the Islamabad High Court (IHC) directed the Executive Director of the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS) to form a medical board for the health examination of PTI’s founding leader, Imran Khan.
The court also ordered that Imran Khan’s personal physician, Dr Faisal Sultan, should be included in the medical board.
The decision was issued by Justice Miangul Hassan Aurangzeb, who ruled that the petition filed by the PTI founder had been resolved with directions.
The court’s order emphasised that Imran Khan, a 72-year-old former prime minister and an under-trial prisoner, should not face any security obstacles in Adiala Jail during his medical examination by a qualified doctor.
Imran Khan had filed a petition in the Islamabad High Court, requesting a medical examination by his personal doctors.
