Tehmina Durrani questions why a medical board hasn’t been formed to examine Shehbaz

LAHORE: Tehmina Durrani, the wife of Shehbaz Sharif, has raised questions over the delay in formation of a medical board to examine the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) president.

Recent blood test reports of Shehbaz indicated signs of cancer returning. Shehbaz, a cancer survivor, underwent further tests, including a CT scan, at Poly Clinic last month. In light of the reports, doctors recommended that he be kept in an open and clean space which receives sunlight and fresh air. They also proposed a larger medical board comprising cancer experts be formed to examine him.

Shehbaz is in custody of the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) since October 5 in connection to the Ashiana Iqbal Housing Scheme case.
Shehbaz should be kept in open space, doctors recommend after medical report

Durrani visited the former Punjab chief minister on Saturday, following which she expressed her reservations regarding her husband’s health. In a Twitter post, she questioned why a medical board had not been constituted yet to examine Shehbaz.

“My visit 2 @CMShehbaz today disturbed me. As he is a cancer survivor, pet scans & blood tests were regularly conducted by his Dr in Lon. The tests taken in islmbd showed some abnormal signs. A board of Drs was to be constituted to check them. That has still not happened. WHY?” she asked.

Shehbaz’s family is scheduled to meet him today at NAB Lahore office.
