Geneva: Former Prime Minister of Pakistan and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Nawaz Sharif has been discharged from a Geneva hospital following a seven-day stay for a heart-related medical procedure. The 73-year-old politician’s recovery has been described as smooth, with family sources confirming his health is now stable.
Cardiac Procedure and Hospital Stay
Nawaz Sharif had been admitted to a specialized cardiac hospital in Geneva, where he underwent a routine procedure to address an ongoing heart condition. According to family sources, the procedure was performed by the same specialist surgeon who has been overseeing his medical care for several years.
After the successful treatment, Sharif was moved to a hotel in Geneva for rest and recovery. He is currently accompanied by his son, Hassan Nawaz, and his personal physician, Dr. Adnan. Family sources emphasized that the former prime minister is now fully healthy and receiving comprehensive post-procedure care.
Private Visit to Geneva
Nawaz Sharif and his daughter, Maryam Nawaz, had traveled to Geneva on a private visit, which coincided with the timing of the medical procedure. Maryam Nawaz remained by her father’s side throughout his hospitalization, providing support during his recovery.
The visit, initially described as private, drew attention from both political circles and media outlets due to Sharif’s high-profile status and ongoing political influence in Pakistan.
Party Leadership Reacts
Leadership and members of PML-N have expressed relief and gratitude at Nawaz Sharif’s smooth recovery. Party sources noted that Sharif is expected to return to active political engagement soon, signaling continuity in the party’s leadership and strategy.
“The leadership is thankful for the prayers of the public and party workers. Nawaz Sharif’s recovery is reassuring for the party and supporters alike,” said a senior party official speaking on condition of anonymity.
Health and Political Context
Nawaz Sharif has a history of heart-related health issues, including multiple procedures during his political career. His health has often been a topic of public discussion, especially during periods of legal and political challenges. The current procedure in Geneva was part of a long-term health management plan advised by his medical team.
Analysts note that while his temporary absence has limited his public political activities, his return is likely to reinvigorate PML-N’s campaign efforts and strategic planning ahead of key political events in Pakistan.
Looking Ahead
Following discharge, Sharif is expected to continue resting in Geneva under close medical supervision before resuming travel. The family and party leaders have requested privacy during his recovery period.
The former prime minister’s smooth recovery has provided reassurance not only to his supporters but also to observers who closely follow Pakistan’s political developments. His return to public life is anticipated to impact upcoming party activities and broader political discussions in the country.
