Lahore (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News – 23rd January, 2019) The report of Thallium scan test of former prime minister Nawaz Sharif has been declared unsatisfactory.

The doctors have expressed their dissatisfaction over the Thallium scan test report of the former premier.

A medical board comprising senior doctors from Punjab Institute of Cardiology (PIC) examined former prime minister Nawaz Sharif at the hospital.
