There were reports that he might be shifted abroad to the UAE for treatment through air ambulance. The PPP has also addressed rumours being spread on social media that the former president was terminally ill.

Dr Asim Hussain had put all rumours to rest and said the former president “is in good health” and would be discharged soon.

On Tuesday, a team of doctors arrived from the United Arab Emirates (UAE) to inspect Zardari but departed after spending nearly four hours at the airport.

The doctors said Zardari’s diagnosis and treatment are being carried out in the right way and there was no need to immediately shift him shifted abroad.

PPP chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari also rushed to oversee the situation. Several close friends of the former president have been present at the private hospital.
