Nawaz Sharif shifted back to Adiala jail from PIMS

ISLAMABAD - Former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has been shifted from Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences to Adiala jail, private news channels reported on Tuesday.

The Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) supremo is currently serving his prison sentence after being convicted in a corruption case by the accountability court.

The decision of shifting him back to Adiala jail was taken after viewing the reports of doctors who declared his health was improving.

Nawaz was shifted as per his own wish amid stringent security measures.

Earlier in the day, the doctors at PIMS had said that Nawaz Sharif’s health is improving.

Last night, Nawaz’s sugar, blood pressure and ECG (electrocardiogram) were not normal after which all the tests were conducted again today, the doctors had said.

PIMS Head of Cardiology Dr Naeem Malik along with his three-member team had conducted Nawaz’s check-up today.

Nawaz was shifted from Adiala Jail to PIMS’ cardiac ward on the orders of the caretaker government on Sunday.

The former premier was admitted to PIMS’ coronary care unit on doctors’ advice, who examined him after he complained of chest pain. A notification issued later declared the medical facility’s cardiac ward as a ‘sub-jail’.
