Rawalpindi: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Barrister Gohar has confirmed that party founder Imran Khan has been administered the fifth dose of an intra-vitreal injection as part of his ongoing medical treatment.

According to Barrister Gohar, Imran Khan was taken from Adiala Jail to PIMS Hospital late last night for a scheduled medical procedure and was returned to jail after receiving the injection.

Medical Treatment at Hospital

He stated that the former prime minister was brought to the hospital specifically for the injection and was shifted back to Adiala Jail after the procedure was completed.

An intra-vitreal injection is typically administered for eye-related conditions and requires specialist medical supervision.

Jail and Medical Protocol

According to standard procedures, prisoners requiring specialized treatment are escorted to hospitals under security arrangements and returned after completion of medical care.

Officials have not issued an independent statement regarding the latest medical procedure at the time of reporting.
