The medical examination had been carried out in detail by heads of different medical departments, he added.

On Monday, Punjab Information Fayazul Hasan Chohan claimed that incarcerated PML-N supremo wanted to go London for medical treatment.

“Nawaz Sharif wants to go to London for treatment, although his medical reports are normal,” the minister remarked during an event.

On February 3, ex-PM’s medical test results had shown kidney stones, and doctors had recommended a routine surgery to get rid of them.
