The most recent development in the ongoing situation concerning former Prime Minister Imran Khan's health is his transfer to the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS) for an eye procedure, reportedly at his own request. Law Minister Azam Nazeer Tarar informed the Senate that Khan was taken to PIMS for a '20-minute medical procedure' to treat a right central retinal vein occlusion, a serious condition affecting his vision (Tribune Latest, February 2, 2026). Despite this, opposition leaders and Khan's family have expressed concerns over the lack of transparency and the absence of his personal medical team during the procedure. Mahmood Khan Achakzai, Leader of the Opposition, wrote to Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, urging for a full medical examination by Khan's trusted doctors, citing 'basic human rights' (Dawn, February 3, 2026).
