Dr Farqad Alamgir Conducts Medical Examination of PTI Founder Imran Khan
RAWALPINDI: Prominent cardiologist Dr. Farqad Alamgir has conducted a comprehensive medical examination of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan at the Adiala Jail, following weeks of political tension and legal battles over the former prime minister’s health condition. The visit comes after a court order permitted personal physicians to assess the incarcerated leader amid growing concerns from his family and party members.
Dr. Farqad Alamgir, a highly respected cardiovascular specialist with extensive international experience, was selected by the PTI leadership and Khan’s family to verify his physical well-being. During the detailed checkup, the medical expert evaluated Khan’s vital signs, cardiovascular health, and overall physical fitness. Sources close to the development revealed that the examination aimed to address lingering concerns regarding the 72-year-old politician’s diet, confinement conditions, and access to regular exercise.
The health of the PTI founder remains a highly sensitive political issue in Pakistan, often serving as a flashpoint between the opposition party and the federal government. PTI leaders have repeatedly alleged that Khan is being kept in sub-par conditions, demanding regular access for his personal medical team to prevent any health deterioration. This medical visit is expected to temporarily ease political friction, providing a verified update on the former premier’s health status to both his supporters and the judiciary.
Following the examination, Dr. Alamgir is expected to compile a formal medical report detailing his findings, which will be submitted to the relevant judicial authorities and shared with Khan’s legal team. The Islamabad High Court is scheduled to review the medical reports in upcoming hearings to determine if further specialized medical facilities or dietary adjustments are required for the imprisoned leader.
