Pakistan's Supreme Court has ordered that jailed former Prime Minister Imran Khan be transferred to Shifa International Hospital in Islamabad within 48 hours for a comprehensive medical examination by a specialist board. The ruling, issued by a three-judge panel, comes amid mounting concerns over Khan's deteriorating health, including significant vision loss in one eye and cardiovascular complaints, which his legal team says have gone inadequately treated during his imprisonment at Adiala jail since August 2023. The government's law minister indicated it would seek modifications to the order — preferring a state-run facility over a private hospital — though a parliamentary affairs minister confirmed the government would comply with the directive, underscoring the case's significance for a political figure who, despite facing charges in over 100 cases, remains one of Pakistan's most influential opposition leaders.
