LAHORE: A medical board on Wednesday again examined former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif in Kot Lakhpat Jail.

The Punjab Home Department had constituted a larger special medical board to examine the health condition of the former Prime Minister after doctors suggested that he had cardiac complications and be shifted to hospital.

Nawaz Sharif apprised the medical board about pain in his chest. He also complained about muscles’ pull and heartache. The check-up continued for two hours. The medical board will send its recommendations to the Interior Ministry. In the light of the recommendations, the decision on the future treatment of Nawaz Sharif will be made.

Earlier, Nawaz Sharif’s personal doctor Dr Adnan Khan had warned that any delay in the treatment of Nawaz Sharif could risk his health.
