Pakistan Supreme Court Orders Hospital Transfer for Imran Khan

Pakistan's Supreme Court ordered the transfer of former PM Imran Khan from Adiala prison to Islamabad’s Shifa International Hospital within two days for urgent medical treatment.

The three-member bench directed that a medical board, including Khan's sister Dr. Uzma Khan and physician Dr. Faisal Sultan, oversee his care until the next hearing on September 16.

The 73-year-old politician, imprisoned since August 2023, showed fluctuating blood pressure and anxiety, prompting the court to intervene despite government claims that he was receiving adequate care.
