Reports Highlight Imran Khan's Health Condition and Medical Care in JailPreviousNext

Jailed former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan's health has been a subject of scrutiny amid reports of fluctuating blood pressure, anxiety, and an eye condition diagnosed as right central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO). Jail authorities reported significant improvement in his vision and ongoing medical care, including thrice-daily monitoring. However, former President Arif Alvi expressed serious concerns over Khan's mental stress, heart palpitations, and elevated blood pressure, calling for independent medical oversight and hospital transfer. Khan's family and lawyers report limited access to him, intensifying worries about his wellbeing.
