Government to Shift Imran Khan to Hospital for Eye Treatment

Government action follows a Supreme Court deadline for a specialist eye evaluation.

Overview

  • Parliamentary Affairs Minister Tariq Fazal Chaudhry said Khan will be moved from Adiala Jail to a hospital and a medical board will oversee his care.
  • Information Minister Attaullah Tarar said leading ophthalmologists will conduct further examinations at a specialized facility and a report will be submitted to the Supreme Court.
  • The Supreme Court granted access to personal physicians, enabled a phone call with Khan’s sons, and ordered a specialist assessment by Feb. 16; the family confirmed a roughly 20‑minute call.
  • Opposition parties sustained sit-ins at Parliament and other locations, demanding transfer to Shifa International Hospital and family and personal-doctor access, after the Senate rejected a resolution on his treatment.
  • PTI’s counsel told the court Khan retains about 15% vision in his right eye after a January procedure for a condition reported as central retinal vein occlusion, a figure government officials dispute based on PIMS records.
