A jail administration official has said a medical team recommended ousted Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif be moved to a hospital.
A medical team led by Gen (retd) Azhar Kiani visited Sharif at Adiala jail, reports Dawn.
He said the former prime minister was having irregular heartbeats due to dehydration and that the presence of urea in his blood might affect his kidneys. The medical team’s recommendation had been sent to the Punjab health secretary and the caretaker government.
“The government will take a decision on it,” he said, adding that the team had been called after the former prime minister complained that he was not feeling well.
Gen Azhar Kiani, CEO of Rawalpindi Institute of Cardiology and former commandant of the Armed Forces Institute of Cardiology, was the physician of former president Gen (retd) Pervez Musharraf.
