While the date of the video remains unknown, it is still an interesting development. Tuesday, a fresh medical report of Nawaz Sharif surfaced which caused quite the political storm in Pakistan. Important to note, Nawaz Sharif has been living in London since 2019 on the pretext of medical treatment. Meanwhile, the PTI government demands his return to answer for the corruption charges leveled against Nawaz Sharif.
However, Nawaz Sharif’s medical reports outline his ailing health and advise against any heavy traveling. As a result, his return to Pakistan keeps getting delayed. The latest medical report also suggested that Nawaz Sharif should refrain from traveling as it will negatively impact his health.

Nawaz Sharif’s latest medical report
Nawaz Sharif’s physician Dr. Fayaz Shawl said he should stay in London until his angiography is performed as travel could worsen his condition.
It further added that he should take precautionary measures to protect himself from COVID-19 and refrain from traveling or visiting crowded places as the virus can have a severe effect on him due to his heart condition.
Furthermore, the report also notes that the PML-N supremo is under severe stress after the death of his wife Kulsoom Nawaz. Doctors advised him to continue activities without any mental stress.

ابھی پتہ چلا ہے کہ اب برطانیہ میں بھی دل کے سب ڈاکٹر فوت ہو چکے ہیں۔اس لئے نواز شریف نے ایک پاکستانی نژاد امریکی ڈاکٹر کو لندن بلوایا۔ پھر اس کو معائینہ کروایا۔پھر اس سے مرضی کا ایک خط لکھوایا۔کیا آپکو لگتا ہے آپکی یہ مکاری عیاری اب اور چلے گی

The latest medical report did not sit well with the PTI government. Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry said the purpose of such “fake medical reports” is nothing but a mockery of Pakistan’s judicial system and laws. He also took a dig at the ex-PM and said that the doctor living in a different country has reported that Nawaz is unable to travel.
On the other hand, Special Assistant to the Prime Minister (SAPM) Dr. Shahbaz Gill heavily trolled Nawaz Sharif. Since the medical report was written by Dr. Fayaz Shawl, Director of Interventional Cardiology US, Dr. Shahbaz Gill sarcastically said that all the heart doctors in the UK have died.
Meanwhile, Punjab Chief Minister Usman Buzdar said Sehat Card covers all heart diseases. To clarify, instead of seeking medical attention in London, Nawaz Sharif can return to Pakistan and use the Sehat card to get free treatment for his ailment!
Just for the record, All Heart diseases are covered in Sehat Card!!
