ISLAMABAD: Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting Attaullah Tarar said Friday that a team of doctors has declared Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder and former prime minister Imran Khan medically fit following his medical examination.

Speaking to the media after Khan was transferred to hospital and subsequently returned to Adiala Jail, Tarar said the former prime minister was shifted under appropriate security arrangements in compliance with the Supreme Court’s directives.

The minister said PTI founder Imran Khan underwent a medical examination at PIMS Hospital, with doctors from Shifa International Hospital also present during the assessment. He said the decision to take Imran Khan to PIMS was made in view of the security situation along the route and outside the hospital following the presence of PTI workers.

According to Tarar, a team of qualified specialists, including ophthalmologists, cardiologists and physicians, examined Khan and found him medically fit.
