Nawaz Sharif’s health critical: Marriyum Aurangzeb

Lahore: Pakistan Muslim League (Nawaz) spokesperson Marriyum Aurangzeb on Tuesday has said that ex-prime minister Nawaz Sharif’s health is deteriorating day by day.

In a statement, the party spokesperson said that former premier is already taking high dose of steroids which is further affecting his health.

She said the doctors had suggested to shift Nawaz Sharif to abroad for medical treatment on immediate basis.

Marriyum Aurangzeb has also said an air ambulance will arrive in Lahore tomorrow (Wednesday) to take former prime minister Nawaz Sharif out of the country for treatment.

She said, doctors, have advised immediate shifting of Nawaz Sharif, as it is beneficial for his treatment.”Former premier’s health is deteriorating with every passing day.”

She added that the doctors will use steroids and other medicines to ensure that the former prime minister’s platelets are up to the levels that are required for travelling.

The PML-N spokesperson said that the biggest challenge that the doctors will face abroad will be in identifying the diagnosis and determining the reason behind the low platelet counts of the former premier.

Earlier on November 11, Nawaz Sharif’s ticket to London for medical treatment was cancelled due to delay in excluding his name from ECL.

Nawaz Sharif was scheduled to travel UK on Qatar Airways flight QR629 today. However, his ticket has been cancelled as the authorities have not removed his name from ECL yet.

Party sources said Nawaz Sharif’s daughter Maryam Nawaz, his brother Shehbaz Sharif and personal doctor Dr Adnan were also due to leave Pakistan along with the ex-PM.

They further told that arrangements for best medical treatment for Nawaz Sharif have been completed at Harley Street Clinic in London by his son Hussain Nawaz.
