Bushra Bibi, the wife of incarcerated ex-premier and PTI founder Imran Khan, has been taken to the hospital, according to party chairman Barrister Gohar Ali Khan.
Bushra is serving a seven-year sentence in the £190 million corruption case. In December 2025, she was sentenced to 17 years’ imprisonment in the Toshakhana 2 case, which revolved around the purchase of an expensive jewelry set gifted to Imran by the Saudi crown prince during his May 2021 visit. The PTI has expressed concern over reports about her health, demanding that she be taken to a hospital for diagnosis and treatment.
“I was informed [through] a message that Bushra Bibi had been shifted to the hospital last night and that I would be briefed about the treatment,” Gohar said on X.
He added that he would request that her family members be allowed to meet her, as well as that Imran Khan’s family be allowed to meet with him and that he be moved to the hospital for treatment.
“The earlier, the better. It is their basic right according to law,” he said. “Their health is too serious and every Pakistani is deeply concerned.
Maryam Riaz Wattoo, Bushra Bibi’s sister, reported not long after that the family had reached Islamabad.
“She will be going through a crucial surgery today. Please pray for her,” she said on X, without elaborating on the details.
The PTI’s concern came after a document dated March 28 began circulating on social media, which stated that Bushra Bibi had been examined by a Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (Pims) doctor who had said the patient had a “history of blurring of vision and a black spot in the right eye for the past 11 days”.
“She also complained of headache and flashes in the right eye,” the document said.Separately, a statement issued by the PTI said Bushra Bibi had been reportedly diagnosed with posterior vitreous detachment (PVD), along with myopia and astigmatism, terming the development “deeply concerning”.
