Medical board declares Nawaz Sharif's health reports 'incomplete'

The medical board on Friday declared former Prime Minister and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) supremo Nawaz Sharif’s medical reports incomplete.

According to the media reports, the medical board headed by Prof Arif Nadeem sent a report to the government in which the medical board regarding the health of former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif apologized for giving its opinion and said that the documents related to the health of PML-N leader were incomplete.

The nine-member board was formed to examine the PML-N supremo’s medical record that has lately been submitted in the Lahore High Court (LHC).

“The report is incomplete because it contains insufficient information on Nawaz Sharif’s current state of health,” the medical board said. It also stated that the PML-N supremo’s medical record, submitted in the LHC, did not include a single report from any credible lab or health facility to substantiate what Dr Fayaz Shawl stated about his health.

Sharif’s fresh report was submitted to the LHC on Jan 28. According to the report, the PML-N supremo was advised against travelling back to the country.

According to the report prepared by Interventional Cardiologist Dr Fayyaz Shawl, Nawaz is suffering from heart and kidney ailments and diabetes, and the doctors have barred him from visiting public spaces, i.e., airports, planes, and other crowded places, due to coronavirus. Nawaz Sharif’s lawyer Amjad Pervez submitted the three-page report in the high court.

“My opinion regarding his travel to Pakistan and its implications on his health remains the same as mentioned in my earlier medical reports. Until then, he should remain on medical treatment in London under the care of doctors with multiple specialities,” Dr Fayyaz said in his report.
