PIMS previously confirmed that Imran was brought to the hospital, where, after his consent was obtained, he was administered an anti-VEGF intravitreal injection to treat a right central retinal vein occlusion. Law Minister Azam Nazeer Tarar informed the Senate today Imran was taken to PIMS at his own request.
Achakzai wrote a letter to the prime minister on the matter today, which was later shared by the opposition coalition Tehreek-e-Tahaffuz-e-Ain Pakistan (TTAP) on X.
“I am writing with utmost urgency to bring to your immediate attention a serious matter concerning the health of former prime minister and PTI Chairman Imran Khan, who is currently detained at Adiala Jail, Rawalpindi,” Achakzai said.

He said it had come to his attention that recent medical check-ups were conducted without the knowledge or presence of Imran’s personal medical team or family members, and that his personal doctors, who were fully aware of his medical history, were not informed.
Achakzai urged that a comprehensive medical assessment be conducted at Adiala Jail, saying Imran’s health was “a matter of basic human rights”.

“A full medical examination and tests by his trusted doctors is critically needed without any delay to properly assess and manage his health, in line with medical ethics, legal obligations and fundamental human rights,” the letter said.
Achakzai urged that Imran’s medical examination be conducted by doctors from Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital and Research Centre and Shifa International Hospital, and proposed the names of Dr Muhammad Aasim Yusuf, Prof Mazhar Ishaq and Prof Aamir Awan.
“Your immediate personal intervention to ensure this medical access is needed. So that the health and well-being of a former prime minister is safeguarded,” the opposition leader requested PM Shehbaz.
Achakzai had also called for Imran to be granted access to his personal physicians in Monday’s NA session. Urging authorities to allow an examination by independent doctors. “Send two doctors so they can examine Imran Khan,” he had said.
He had said he would write to PM Shehbaz asking that the detained PTI founder’s personal doctors be allowed to check him.
The PTI had rejected the PIMS report on Imran’s eye treatment, demanding that he be treated at Shaukat Khanum Hospital and that his family be allowed to meet him.
PTI Central Secretary of Information Sheikh Waqas Akram, speaking on Express News programme ‘Centre Stage’, said the party did not accept any PIMS report. “Treatment of the PTI founder should be done at Shaukat Khanum, and the founder’s family should be allowed to meet him. Our response is that these reports and vlogs should stop. We will not be satisfied with these actions,” he stated.
He recalled that during the PTI government, when PML-N President Nawaz Sharif was ill, Imran had said political differences should be set aside and that no one’s life should be politicised.
Akram emphasised that public emotions should not be exploited. “We say that the PTI founder should be treated at Shaukat Khanum, not PIMS,” he added.
He questioned the relevance of objections to an examination by the founder’s own doctor. “Were meetings with the founder not arranged before? Now we are being lectured about jail manuals and laws,” he said.
