Imran Khan’s sister Aleema Khan has welcomed the Supreme Court’s order for his hospital check-up, calling it a moment of relief after weeks of uncertainty.
She said the family had grown disappointed and lost hope in receiving justice, but continued to place its faith in Allah.
Aleema thanked the Almighty after the court directed that Khan receive comprehensive medical care at the hospital.
Pakistan’s Supreme Court has ordered that former Prime Minister Imran Khan be transferred from Adiala Jail to Shifa International Hospital in Islamabad for medical treatment, following concerns raised by his family, lawyers and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) over his health.
The 73-year-old former premier is expected to be moved within 48 hours under tight security. The court has also directed that a medical board examine him, while his sister and personal physician will be allowed to be present during his medical assessment and treatment.

Pakistan Top Court Orders Ex-PM Imran Khan to Be Moved to Hospital from Jail, His Party Says
The Supreme Court of Pakistan ordered on Tuesday that former Prime Minister Imran Khan be moved from jail to hospital, his Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party said, meeting a longstanding demand from his party and family, who have raised repeated concerns about his health.
Cricketer-turned-politician Khan, 73, has been jailed since August 2023, convicted in a string of cases he says were politically motivated following his ouster in 2022. His sons repeatedly voiced concern over his deteriorating health last year, with his lawyers saying he had lost significant vision in his right eye while imprisoned.
“It’s a very welcome order, and we wish it had happened sooner so his eye and general health would not have deteriorated this much,” PTI spokesperson Zulfikar Bukhari said. “He should remain in the hospital until all doctors are satisfied,” he added.
