Pakistan's Punjab government yesterday said that former Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif will be shifted to a cardiac facility for treatment of his heart complications.
Mahmood Ayaz, the head of the medical board at Lahore's Services Hospital, said that Sharif is facing some problems in the blood supply of heart veins that must be addressed by cardiac specialists.
The announcement
comes amid demands of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) to shift Sharif to London for better treatment.
Sharif is presently serving seven-year imprisonment in Al-Azizia Mills corruption case in Lahore's Kot Lakhpat Jail. He was shifted to the Services Hospital on Saturday on the recommendations of a special medical board.
