Islamabad (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News – 23rd July, 2018) Former prime minister Nawaz Sharif, who is presently incarcerated in Rawalpindi's Adiala jail for corruption, has been provided the facility of an air conditioner in jail.
The air conditioner has been provided upon the directions of Punjab Caretaker Chief Minister Dr Hassan Askari Rizvi.
According to Punjab Prisoners department, the former prime minister has been given this facility over the report of his doctor Azhar Kiyani.
Jail sources said that it is the first time that a prisoner has been given the facility of an air conditioner.
According to media reports, a four-member medical team from PIMS Hospital arrived at Adiala Jail for Nawaz Sharif's medical check-up. The four-member team includes a cardiologist, gastrologist and a medical specialist. The medical team entered the Adiala Jail through Colony Gate.
According to jail sources, the medical board conducted the former prime minister’s ECG.
The medical team suggested his immediate shifting to the hospital as delay in shifting might damage his kidneys. A report in this regard was dispatched to the authorities who will analyze the situation and decide whether to shift him to a hospital.
Jail sources said that Nawaz is suffering from dehydration due to summer heat, which has led to multiple health problems. Tests showed that Nawaz had high sugar level being diabetic and heart patient. He also had high Urea concentration in blood that could be damaging for the kidneys, they added.
They claimed that the jail administration did not allow Nawaz’s personnel physician Dr Adnan to treat him. IG Jail Shahid Saleem Baig visited Nawaz last Friday to convince him to send Maryam Nawaz to the Sihala Rest House.
