Nawaz Sharif's personal physician has advised the interim government to "seriously consider" sending him to London for further treatment, a media report said today.
Sharif, 68, was shifted to the Cardiac Centre of Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS) here after his health deteriorated due to heart trouble in the Adiala Jail in Rawalpindi.
The News International reported that the former premier could be sent to London on August 2. Sending Sharif to London for treatment is being seriously considered, the report said.
Sharif had earlier stayed in London for three months for cardiac surgery.
Meanwhile, his private hospital ward in Islamabad has been declared as a sub-jail by the authorities.
The three-time Pakistan premier is serving a 10-year jail term in a corruption case over his family's purchase of luxury apartments in London. He has been lodged in the Adiala Jail since July 13.
