Pakistan Supreme Court Orders Imran Khan's Transfer from Jail to Hospital for Medical CarePreviousNext

Pakistan's Supreme Court ordered the transfer of former Prime Minister Imran Khan from Adiala Jail to Shifa International Hospital in Islamabad for medical treatment amid concerns over his health, including eye issues, blood pressure fluctuations, and anxiety. The court mandated a medical board including Khan's personal physician and sister to oversee his care and allowed weekly family visits. The government has expressed intent to challenge the order, citing legal provisions favoring treatment in government hospitals. Khan's family welcomed the decision, while authorities emphasized security and restrictions on politicizing his medical information.
