ISLAMABAD: Islamabad: Preparations have been fully finalized to transfer incarcerated Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf founder Imran Khan to Shifa Hospital tonight.
According to private television channels, a high-level police team led by the Islamabad Inspector General (IG) arrived at Shifa International Hospital.
The Islamabad Police IG reviewed security arrangements at the facility, resulting in the closure of all surrounding access routes, while vehicles parked outside the hospital were cleared using lifters.
Meanwhile, Imran Khan‘s sister Dr. Uzma and personal physician Dr. Faisal Sultan entered through the outer gates of Adiala Jail.
Conversely, police stopped his sister Aleema Khan and cousin Qasim Khan at the jail’s main entrance.
PTI central leader Shaukat Yousafzai appealed to party workers via social media to cooperate with the authorities by refraining from gathering at the hospital to allow smooth medical procedures for Imran Khan.
Medical doctors inside Adiala Jail have already completed their comprehensive medical checkup.
Shortly, Imran Khan is scheduled to be transferred to the hospital via an ambulance.
Administration officials at Shifa Hospital have likewise completed all necessary arrangements required in the event of Imran Khan‘s admission.
Note on Health Concerns and Medical Care for Imran Khan
Growing apprehensions regarding the physical and psychological well-being of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf founder have consistently been voiced by his legal team, family members, and party leadership.
Concerns intensified following reports of an acute eye condition and elevated stress levels while in custody.
While jail authorities maintained that comprehensive medical check-ups were regularly administered and that his visual health had substantially improved, his relatives and political colleagues repeatedly expressed a lack of confidence in state-run medical facilities, demanding independent evaluations.

Addressing these prolonged apprehensions, the Supreme Court of Pakistan ordered that Imran Khan be transferred to a private healthcare facility in Islamabad for a thorough medical examination under an authorized board of specialists.
Party leaders welcomed the judicial intervention while urging supporters to maintain public order and refrain from gathering at the hospital, emphasizing that Imran Khan‘s medical treatment and safety should remain separated from political agitation.
