Pakistan Supreme Court Orders Imran Khan's Transfer to Hospital Amid Health ConcernsPreviousNext

Pakistan's Supreme Court has ordered the transfer of jailed former Prime Minister Imran Khan to Shifa International Hospital for medical treatment amid concerns over his health. Reports indicate his eye condition has improved to near normal, but medical examinations reveal fluctuating blood pressure, anxiety, and heart palpitations. Former President Arif Alvi and Khan's family have expressed alarm over his mental and physical stress, calling for independent medical oversight. The court also mandated regular family meetings and the formation of a medical board to oversee his care.
