Pakistan's incarcerated former Prime Minister Imran Khan was on Tuesday (February 24, 2026) taken to a hospital in Islamabad for treating an eye ailment, officials said even as his party demanded “transparency, not secrecy” about his health updates.
The 73-year-old cricketer-turned-politician, who has been at the Adiala Jail, Rawalpindi, since 2023, was last month diagnosed with right central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) affecting his vision.
Mr. Khan was brought to the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS) at Islamabad for a second dose of anti-VEGF (Vascular endothelial growth factor) intravitreal injection, a doctor at the hospital said. He was later shifted back to the Adiala Jail. He had received treatment earlier on January 24.
