ISLAMABAD (MNN); Former Prime Minister and Imran Khan was taken to the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences in the early hours of March 23, 2026, marking his third confirmed hospital visit in recent months for follow‑up treatment related to his ongoing eye condition.
According to multiple reliable reports and social media confirmations, Khan was moved from Adiala Jail to PIMS under tight security before dawn, where he stayed for approximately 55 minutes and underwent a series of medical checks and procedures before being returned to jail later the same morning.
These movements reflect the continuation of a structured medical follow‑up plan for his serious eye ailment, which has previously led to significant vision loss in his right eye and required specialist injections.
The brief hospital visit came after a medical board established on the direction of the Islamabad High Court recently assessed his condition and recommended ongoing treatment. This ongoing eye treatment plan was developed after doctors diagnosed him with central retinal vein occlusion, a condition that can severely affect vision.
Hospitals and authorities have not publicly released detailed clinical results from this visit, but social‑media posts and eyewitness accounts indicate that Khan was examined by specialist doctors and that his medical reassessment was completed before he was taken back to jail.
This visit follows previous trips to PIMS for scheduled eye treatment, including a second anti‑VEGF intravitreal injection administered in late February, which hospital officials reported was carried out under specialist supervision and with cardiac checks performed as part of the medical protocol.
The continuation of these medical visits has once again drawn public attention to Khan’s health while incarcerated, amid ongoing political debate over access to personal physicians and transparency of treatment.
