‘I am absolutely fine’: Rana Sanaullah sends message from hospital

Federal Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah has said that he is on the road to recovery after undergoing a couple of minor checkups and medical procedures.

“To all those well-wishers who are concerned about my health after viewing my picture at the hospital, I am absolutely fine,” the minister said in an audio message on Friday. Earlier in the night, a picture of the federal minister lying on a hospital bed, hooked up to oxygen, had been widely shared on social media.

“I had heart surgery almost 20 years ago in 2004. For patients like me, some minor procedures and a general checkup are essential every two to three years,” Rana Sanaullah clarified.
