LAHORE: Punjab Home Department has formed a panel over the medical reports of former premier Nawaz Sharif related to his extension in bail.
The committee will be headed by Punjab Law Minister Raja Basharat. The panel also includes provincial Health Minister Dr. Yasmin Rashid and Specialized Healthcare and Medical Education Secretary Momin Agha.
Earlier on 8th February, Nawaz Sharif’s medical reports were rejected by the medical board as the reports were insufficient.
The Punjab government’s constituted medical board returned the reports which were sent by the Sharif family from London back as they were incomplete.
The board also informed the Punjab government in this regard that reports failed to arrive at a meaningful conclusion.
The medical board asked about the test of the cardiac function test, genetic testing, bone marrow tests, PET scan, and platelets. These major tests were not attested to the other tests required.
He is also scheduled to go undergo heart surgery in London this week.
On 29th October 2019, Nawaz Sharif was granted bail by the Islamabad High Court on medical grounds in Al-Azizia case for eight weeks. He along with his family has been accused of using the Chaudhry Sugar Mills for money-laundering and illegal transfer of its shares.
