Shifa International Hospital

Shifa International Hospital is a prominent medical facility located in Islamabad, Pakistan. It recently gained significant media attention due to a Supreme Court order mandating the transfer of former Prime Minister Imran Khan for medical examinations. The court's decision came after concerns were raised by Khan's legal team regarding his health, specifically citing issues with his blood pressure. Khan, who has been imprisoned since 2023 on corruption charges, was ordered to be moved from Adiala prison to Shifa International Hospital for a period of nearly a month. This development highlights the hospital's role as a key institution capable of handling high-profile medical cases and underscores its significance in the current political and legal landscape of Pakistan.
