ISLAMABAD: Information Minister Attaullah Tarar said on Friday that PTI founder Imran Khan underwent a medical check-up at the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (Pims) before being shifted back to Adiala jail, adding that he was declared “medically fit”.
The statement came hours after media reports said that Imran underwent a medical examination at Islamabad’s Shifa International Hospital during the early hours of Friday.
The information minister’s initial statement on the matter did not specifically name the hospital where Imran was taken. The SC’s orders from earlier this week had directed the government to take Imran to Shifa International Hospital, which is a private institution.
However, Tarar later clarified that Imran was taken to Pims, a government-run facility where the PTI founder has undergone treatment for an eye ailment in recent months.
