Islamabad: Three-time Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, a month after being released on bail from a seven-year sentence in Al-Azizia case, departed for London on Tuesday for medical treatment.
He was flown in an air ambulance from the Allama Iqbal International Airport, Lahore, accompanied by his brother Shehbaz Sharif.
Prior to departure, the doctors inspected Sharif’s blood sugar level, blood pressure and performed a CBC test. Upon clearance of all medical tests and doctors’ recommendations, the air ambulance took off from the airport.
The former premier’s medication has been changed for enabling him to travel. Sharif will be shifted to the Harley Street Clinic in London immediately after landing.
All essential preparations to shift the ailing Sharif were made, and a ‘high-end’ air ambulance arrived at the airport from Doha.
