PTI Moves Supreme Court to Shift Imran Khan to Al-Shifa Hospital in Islamabad

PTI demands Imran Khan be treated by a retina specialist at Shifa International Hospital with full access for his personal doctors, family, and legal team amid concerns over secretive exams.

  • On Wednesday, PTI filed a petition with the Supreme Court to immediately shift Imran Khan to Shifa International Hospital, Islamabad, for eye treatment.
  • Imran was diagnosed last month with right central retinal vein occlusion, and PTI lawyers say no retina specialist is available at PIMS; the February 15 exam lacked family, personal doctors, or legal representatives.
  • PTI lawyer Sardar Latif Khosa filed the application under Order XXXV Rule 6, seeking access for personal physicians Dr Faisal Sultan and Dr Aasim Yusuf and family presence during examinations.
  • A follow-up visit to PIMS on February 24 found Imran clinically stable, the government denied secrecy claims, and PTI demanded transparency, not secrecy.
  • PTI says it will press courts for speedy hearings after filing the plea, with party parliamentarians set to visit the Islamabad High Court on Thursday at noon to seek fixation of Imran’s pending cases and filing for the next hearing via an advocate-on-record.
