President Mamnoon Hussain on Monday directed caretaker prime minister Justice (retd) Nasirul Mulk to ensure that former prime minister Nawaz Sharif is provided complete medical treatment.
The president telephoned the caretaker premier and urged, "Nawaz should be provided with all medical facilities."
President Mamnoon expressed concern over the former premier's health, who is presently incarcerated in Rawalpindi's Adiala jail for corruption.
Azad Jammu and Kashmir PM Farooq Haider and Gilgit-Baltistan Chief Minister Hafeezur Rehman have also expressed concern over Nawaz's health and requested the caretaker government to ensure he is provided the best medical treatment.
A five-member medical board formed by Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS) conducted Nawaz’s medical check-up earlier today.
