Islamabad: On Thursday, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Barrister Gohar Ali Khan called for the immediate transfer of PTI founder Imran Khan and his wife Bushra Bibi to a hospital for comprehensive medical treatment and examinations under the supervision of their personal doctors.
He revealed that Bushra Bibi was taken to a hospital last night for laser eye treatment but was subsequently returned. Barrister Gohar emphasized his request for a family meeting to address the serious health concerns surrounding both Khan and Bushra Bibi, stating, “We have grave concerns about their well-being and are awaiting the family meeting today.”
In a significant development, the PTI chairman insisted that both should be admitted to a hospital where they can receive treatment and undergo medical tests in the presence of family members and their trusted medical team. He criticized the current “seek and hide” approach regarding their health issues and stressed the urgent need for transparency and immediate medical attention.
Notably, Bushra Bibi was reportedly returned to Adiala jail on Wednesday after a medical examination at the Al-Shifa Trust Eye Hospital in Rawalpindi. She had been transported to the hospital under strict security for a scheduled follow-up appointment related to her eye surgery performed on April 17 at the same facility.
Periodic follow-up examinations have been conducted inside Adiala jail since the operation, which was necessary after she experienced impaired vision in her right eye. The jail administration arranged for urgent ophthalmological assessment, which led to the surgery performed by Dr. Nadeem Qureshi and a medical team. Bushra Bibi was admitted to the hospital on April 16 following a diagnosis of retinal detachment and underwent the procedure with her consent. After an overnight hospital stay, she was discharged and returned to the jail.
Currently, Bushra Bibi is serving a seven-year sentence related to a £190 million corruption case. Additionally, in December 2025, she was sentenced to 17 years in prison in the Toshakhana-2 case, which involves the underpriced purchase of luxury state gifts.
