RAWALPINDI: The federal government has formed a two-doctor medical panel to examine Imran Khan, founder of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf and former prime minister.

According to sources, the panel consists of Dr. Amjad and Dr. Nadeem Qureshi. The doctors are expected to conduct a medical examination shortly, after which a decision will be made regarding whether Imran Khan should be transferred to a hospital.

Earlier, Federal Minister for Information Atta Tarar stated that further medical evaluation would continue for Imran Khan’s ongoing eye treatment.

 In a tweet, he mentioned that the PTI founder would be treated by ophthalmology specialists at a specialized medical facility, and a detailed report of the examination and treatment would be submitted to the Supreme Court of Pakistan.

The minister also urged the public to avoid speculation regarding the treatment of the PTI founder.

Meanwhile, A bail petition has been filed in the Islamabad High Court seeking suspension of the sentence against Imran Khan, founder of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, in the Toshakhana case.

The petition was submitted by barristers Salman Safdar and Khalid Yousuf Chaudhry, who also filed a miscellaneous application for early hearing regarding the 190 million-pound case.

The petition states that Imran Khan is suffering from a serious condition in his right eye, diagnosed by Dr. Muhammad Arif at PIMS Hospital.

Due to a blood clot, his vision in the right eye has been severely affected, with only 15% remaining functional. The petition argues that treatment for this condition is not possible while in jail.

It further notes that at the age of 73, Imran Khan requires bail to undergo urgent medical treatment.

In response to journalists’ questions, barrister Salman Safdar clarified that Imran Khan reported that PIMS doctors informed him—after tests and research—that he has lost 85% of vision in his right eye.
