Fresh medical reports of Nawaz Sharif submitted to LHC

Lahore: The PML-N legal team on Friday submitted a medical report on the health of former premier Nawaz Sharif before the Lahore High Court.

According to the medial report, submitted through advocate Amjad Pervaiz, says that Nawaz had “some residual anginal symptoms” which would require “frequent follow-up investigations” in London and Pakistan. Angina is chest pain or discomfort that is a common symptom of coronary heart disease.

Nawaz had left for London in 2019 in the middle of his seven-year jail term on medical grounds.

The LHC had allowed the ex-premier to travel abroad initially for a period of four weeks, extendable on the basis of medical reports. Shehbaz Sharif had also submitted an undertaking to “provide/send the periodical medical reports of the doctor duly notarised by the embassy to the registrar of this court”.

However, Nawaz not returned and declared a proclaimed offender in various graft cases.

The development comes after the PML-N announced that the former PM will land in Pakistan on Oct 21.

The report was signed by Professor Carlo Di Mario, a consultant cardiologist at the Royal Brompton & Harefield Hospitals, part of Guy’s and St Thomas’ National Health Service Foundation Trust.
