The Imran Khan Medical Report is set to be shared with his family following a high-profile protest by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf leaders outside the Supreme Court in Islamabad. Party officials say the development comes after sustained pressure seeking transparency regarding the former prime minister’s health.
The announcement has intensified political debate, raising constitutional and humanitarian concerns.
Imran Khan Medical Report to Be Handed Over in Sealed Envelope
Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Secretary General Salman Akram Raja confirmed on Friday that authorities had agreed to provide the Imran Khan Medical Report in a sealed envelope, with a copy to be shared with his immediate family, including his sisters.
Speaking to media representatives outside the Supreme Court of Pakistan, Raja said the party staged a day-long sit-in to ensure that the incarcerated PTI founder could consult his personal physicians and receive transparent medical evaluation.
He stated that conflicting information regarding Khan’s health had created uncertainty and anxiety among supporters nationwide.
Protest Outside Supreme Court and Adiala Jail
The protest began outside Adiala Jail before shifting to Islamabad’s judicial complex. Senior PTI leaders, including Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur and Senate Opposition Leader Allama Raja Nasir Abbas, participated in the demonstration.
Raja revealed that party leadership remained in contact throughout the day with the Chief Justice of Pakistan, court officials, and the Attorney General’s office. However, he described the outcome of those engagements as “unsatisfactory,” prompting continued protest action.
PTI leaders argued that the former premier had been taken to a hospital without prior notification to family members, a move they described as procedurally improper.
Medical Procedure at PIMS Confirmed
Federal Information Minister Attaullah Tarar confirmed that Imran Khan underwent a medical procedure related to an eye ailment at the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences on the night of January 24.
According to official statements, the procedure was routine. However, PTI leaders questioned why the family was neither informed nor consulted prior to the treatment.
The Imran Khan Medical Report, once disclosed, is expected to clarify the diagnosis and details of the procedure conducted at PIMS.

Demand for Independent Medical Examination
PTI Chairman Barrister Gohar Khan called for doctors from Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital to be permitted to examine the former prime minister.
He argued that independent medical verification would help restore public confidence and prevent speculation. Party officials described the secrecy surrounding the Imran Khan Medical Report as detrimental to democratic norms.
Raja emphasized that once the family receives the report, it will determine whether the current treatment protocol is satisfactory.
Constitutional Concerns Raised by Opposition
Allama Raja Nasir Abbas stated that denying fundamental rights guaranteed under Pakistan’s Constitution amounted to oppression. He described the handling of Khan’s medical situation as “illegal and inhumane,” adding that transparency was not merely a political demand but a constitutional requirement.
The issue has revived broader debate regarding prisoner rights and state accountability.

Chief Minister Gandapur warned that PTI would announce further action if visitation rights and transparency demands were not met. The party’s political committee is scheduled to meet with opposition allies to decide the next course of action.
The situation continues to evolve within an already sensitive political environment.
