Nawaz Sharif likely to be shifted to hospital

The medical team suggested his immediate shifting to the hospital as delay in shifting might damage his kidneys.

Rawalpindi (Pakistan Point News – 23rd July, 2018) Former Pakistani prime minister Nawaz Sharif, who is presently incarcerated in Rawalpindi's Adiala jail for corruption, is likely to be shifted to hospital today.

According to media reports, a four-member medical team from PIMS Hospital arrived at Adiala Jail for Nawaz Sharif's medical check-up. The four-member team includes a cardiologist, gastrologist and a medical specialist. The medical team entered the Adiala Jail through Colony Gate.

According to jail sources, the medical board conducted the former prime minister’s ECG.

The medical team suggested his immediate shifting to the hospital as delay in shifting might damage his kidneys. A report in this regard was dispatched to the authorities who will analyze the situation and decide whether to shift him to a hospital.

Meanwhile, the Interior Ministry has approved a summary forwarded by the Punjab Home Ministry Sunday night seeking Nawaz Sharif’s shifting to the hospital.

Jail sources said that Nawaz is suffering from dehydration due to summer heat, which has led to multiple health problems. Tests showed that Nawaz had high sugar level being diabetic and heart patient. He also had high Urea concentration in blood that could be damaging for the kidneys, they added.

They claimed that the jail administration did not allow Nawaz’s personnel physician Dr Adnan to treat him. IG Jail Shahid Saleem Baig visited Nawaz last Friday to convince him to send Maryam Nawaz to the Sihala Rest House.
