Imran Khan, the former Prime Minister of Pakistan and chairman of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), was taken from Adiala Jail in Rawalpindi to PIMS Hospital in Islamabad in the early hours of Tuesday. Doctors have diagnosed him with Right Central Retinal Vein Occlusion (CRVO), a condition that affects vision. To aid his treatment, Khan received a second dose of Anti-VEGF intravitreal injections, having previously been administered the first dose on January 24.

Before the eye treatment was initiated, a specialized board of doctors, including cardiologists and physicians, evaluated Khan's cardiac health via ECG and echocardiogram. The reports were normal, allowing the medical team to proceed with the 'day-care' surgery for his eyes, after which he was sent back to jail. This incident raises questions not only about the timing and structure of the medical procedure but also about the conditions under which a high-profile prisoner like Khan is treated.

Both Khan's family members and the PTI party have expressed concerns over the secrecy surrounding the entire process. Aliya Khan, Khan's sister, raised questions about the government's handling of his health situation, indicating a potential infringement on his rights as a prisoner. The incident highlights ongoing tensions in Pakistan's political landscape, particularly regarding the treatment of opposition figures and the transparency of governmental processes related to health care for inmates.
