National Assembly (NA) Speaker Sardar Ayaz Sadiq has said that PTI founder Imran Khan could be shifted to hospital for one month if doctors recommend it. 

Addressing workers of the Pakistan Muslim League- Nawaz (PML-N) in Lahore, Ayaz Sadiq emphasised that no doctor had so far advised transferring Khan to a hospital. “When the doctor is not saying he should be shifted, how can we move him?” he asked, adding that the decision would be taken only if medical opinions support the move.

He said that rumors were being circulated about the PTI founder’s treatment.

The comments come amid a wider debate on Khan’s treatment and eye condition. A Supreme Court-appointed medical review earlier this month reported that Khan had lost most sight in his right eye as low as 15 percent due to a retinal condition diagnosed during imprisonment. 

A five-member medical team visited Rawalpindi’s Adiala Jail, where Khan is incarcerated, and conducted an eye examination. Blood samples were taken and blood pressure was checked. PTI rejected the check-up, saying it was carried out without the presence of Khan’s family or personal physicians.

Government officials, including the Parliamentary Affairs Minister, said Khan will be taken to hospital on February 25 for a scheduled injection as part of ongoing treatment. The transfers are intended specifically for these medical procedures.

Officials clarified that the latest examination, conducted on the Supreme Court’s order, showed one eye approximately 70 percent fine and the other 6/6. In medical terms, 6/6 or 20/20 vision refers to normal clarity and sharpness of sight.
