ISLAMABAD: Former prime minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi visited the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS) hospital on Saturday for a brief medical check-up after he complained about experiencing hernia pain.
The hospital sources said that the ex-PM and Pakista
n Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) senior vi
ce president, Shahid Khaqan Abbasi, was brought to PI
MS hospital by jail officials of Adiala Jail. Strict security arrangements were made upon his arrival at the hospital, sources said.
A spokesman for PIMS said Abbasi had his medical check-up done from the cardiac center at the medical facility.
Earlier this week, the medical board recommended a hernia surgery for the Pakista
n Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader, but the former premier was not ready to be operated at PIMS.
During his medical examination, the doctors performed an electrocardiogram (ECG) to
determin
e his condition.
