LONDON: Leader of Pakistan Muslim League (Nawaz) and former Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif has visited Royal Free Hospital to meet doctors for inspection and check up.
Shahbaz Sharif visited the hospital on Friday for his first appointment with Dr Martyn Caplin, the stomach cancer expert.
A source revealed that Shahbaz Sharif has several appointments with doctors in the next few weeks. Due to Easter holidays, appointments are being given in the end of April and early May as thousands of professionals are on break for Easter and schools are closed.
After arriving in London two days ago, Shahbaz Sharif met his grandchildren. His granddaughter and Hamza Shahbaz’s daughter was born around two months ago here. She was diagnosed with a serious cardiac issue and underwent a life-saving surgery two weeks after her birth.
A recent medical report of the former Punjab Chief Minister revealed in the court said that he has lymph node in his chest which could lead to recurrence of cancer.
The CT (computed tomography) scan report of Mr Sharif shows a number of problems and his medical fitness certificate suggests adding more doctors, including an oncologist and an orthopaedic surgeon, to the medical board taking care of his health.
He was diagnosed with a rare Adenocarcionoid cancer in the appendix during his exile when Pervez Musharraf was in power. He had received treatment in America and London. Shahbaz Sharif visits London twice a year for medical check up and its treatment.
