The first telephonic contact between serving military head and former premier after the Panama case verdict was made in the backdrop of Kulsoom Nawaz' health who was diagnosed with a throat cancer by British doctors.

According to the doctors, Kulsoom needed immediate treatment, however, her ailment was curable and “treatment shouldn’t be too complicated.”

Doctors discussed various options of treatment and agreed that surgery and radiation therapy will not be used because Kulsoom can be treated through chemotherapy, sources said.

The former first lady is the candidate of ruling party for NA-120 bye-polls, a seat vacated after the disqualification of Nawaz Sharif by the top court but it is highly likely that she won't be able to take part in the election campaign for the said constituency.
