Tarar says Imran Khan’s medical report shared with family

Minister for Information and Broadcasting Attaullah Tarar on Friday said that a detailed medical report of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan had been shared with his family following concerns raised over his health.

In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Tarar said the Leader of the Opposition had written a letter to the prime minister, while PTI leaders also approached the Supreme Court of Pakistan seeking a medical check-up of Imran Khan, who is currently serving sentences in Rawalpindi’s Adiala Jail.

He said that on the directions of the Prime Minister’s Office, a comprehensive medical report was prepared by the Executive Director of the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS).

“The detailed report has been sent to the Superintendent of Central Jail Rawalpindi (Adiala) and has been handed over to the family,” Tarar added.

The development comes amid renewed political debate and legal proceedings regarding the former prime minister’s health and incarceration.

Earlier in the days, PTI had moved Supreme Court, seeking release of Imran Khan’s medical report.

Last month, PTI said it had learned through credible reports that Khan had been diagnosed with central retinal vein occlusion in his right eye, resulting in a dangerous blockage affecting vision.

PTI said medical experts who examined the former prime minister in jail had described the condition as highly sensitive and serious, warning that any delay in proper treatment could cause irreversible damage to his eyesight.
