A medical team from the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS) visited Adiala Jail in Rawalpindi on Sunday evening to examine former prime minister Imran Khan and his wife, Bushra Bibi.

The team, led by Dr Arif of PIMS Hospital, was assisted by the medical staff of the jail hospital. The doctors checked Imran Khan's blood pressure, body temperature and pulse, and carried out an external medical examination.

According to sources cited in the reports, the doctors also asked the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder a series of questions about his health, reviewed the medicines he uses and gave him necessary medical instructions.

The medical team also conducted a medical examination of Bushra Bibi. After completing the examinations, the team left the jail, and Imran Khan and Bushra Bibi were moved back to their respective cells.

The visit was also reported by ARY News, which carried the development as a medical team visiting Adiala Jail to examine the couple. The reports did not disclose any findings from the examinations or the results of any tests.

The check-up comes a day after Bushra Bibi approached the Islamabad High Court seeking a full medical evaluation and care from an eye specialist. In an application filed in the 190 million pound case, she asked the court to direct the jail authorities to obtain a comprehensive medical report and present her medical record in court.

Her lawyer, Barrister Salman Safdar, also filed an affidavit about his meeting with the couple at Adiala Jail on 2 November. According to that account, Bushra Bibi told him that doctors had diagnosed a mature cataract and that a further eye operation would be needed around 15 November. She has asked for permission to be treated by a specialist of her choice at her own expense.

Imran Khan has been in jail for more than three years, and his health and access to medical care have remained matters of public and legal attention. In August, the Supreme Court ordered that he be moved to Shifa International Hospital for examination, but he was instead taken to PIMS, declared medically fit and returned to Adiala Jail.

His legal team has repeatedly raised concerns about his eyesight and blood pressure. The jail authorities have maintained that he receives regular check-ups, and earlier medical reports submitted to the courts recorded dozens of examinations by different specialists during his imprisonment.

No official statement from the jail administration or PIMS about Sunday's visit had been published at the time of reporting. The visit was described in the reports as a routine follow-up examination carried out under the jail's medical arrangements.
