Government briefs Senate on PTI founder medical treatment
- Imran Khan received 25 medical board check ups recently
- Sanaullah confirms Khan is satisfied with jail conditions
- Government will follow Supreme Court medical directives strictly
Detailed timeline of medical examinations
The Adviser provided a specific timeline of medical interventions, noting that Imran Khan first raised health complaints in the first week of January. Following this, doctors provided immediate care including eye drops, though the patient noted little improvement after three days. By mid-January, jail authorities coordinated with the PIMS hospital administration, leading to a specialized eye examination on January 16. A team of four doctors conducted further examinations and tests at Adiala Jail on January 19 before moving the former Prime Minister to PIMS for specialized treatment on January 24.
Frequent medical evaluations confirmed
According to the briefing, Imran Khan undergoes medical check-ups every other day to ensure his continued well-being. Sanaullah reported that medical boards have conducted 25 separate examinations since the incarceration began. He clarified that there was no mention of eye-related ailments during the month of December, countering previous narratives. Furthermore, he noted that legal representative Salman Safdar recently spent two hours with the PTI chairman at the facility to oversee the situation and confirm the status of medical care.
Commitment to Supreme Court directives
The government reaffirmed its commitment to following all Supreme Court orders regarding Imran Khan’s healthcare and specialist access. Rana Sanaullah stated that any required medical specialist would be provided as per judicial directives, regardless of which doctor the court recommends. He concluded by suggesting that if specific alternative treatment is sought, a petition can be filed in the Supreme Court for legal consideration. The government assured the house that it will strictly adhere to the court’s final decision and provide all necessary medical facilities.
