It was also reported that Nawaz, Maryam, and some other party members flew from Heathrow airport today on a Swiss flight along with two other family members.
Sharif, who is living in self-exile, will also visit his heart surgeon in Geneva with the same surgeon who visited the PML-N leader in London.
