Ailing Sharif may be treated in UK
Lahore, Nov. 8: Pakistan’s ailing former prime minister Nawaz Sharif has heeded doctors’ advice and given in to his family’s request to fly to London for the treatment of his diseases, a media report said.
Sharif was shifted to his Jati Umra Raiwind residence in Lahore after his two-week stay at a Pakistani hospital for treatment of multiple diseases. He was admitted to the Services Hospital in Lahore on October 22 from Pakis-tan’s antigraft body’s custody after his platelets dropped to a critical low level of 2,000.
“Nawaz Sharif has finally agreed to go to London after the doctors told him categorically that they had already exhausted all medical treatment [options] available in Pakistan and going abroad is the only option left,” a family member said.
Sharif might leave after his name is removed from the Exit Control List by the government.
