Bushra Bibi, wife of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan, has approached the Islamabad High Court (IHC), seeking an immediate medical examination and treatment amid concerns over her deteriorating eyesight.
In a miscellaneous petition filed before the court, Bushra Bibi has requested directions to Adiala Jail authorities to submit an updated and comprehensive medical report regarding her health condition.
The petition states that she should be examined immediately by a qualified eye specialist and be allowed to receive treatment from her personal doctors at her own expense.
She has also requested the court to direct the authorities to provide details of her diagnosis, previous treatment and complete medical records to ensure access to appropriate healthcare facilities.
Meanwhile, Imran Khan’s lawyer, Barrister Salman Safdar, has also submitted an affidavit to the Islamabad High Court following his meeting with Imran Khan and Bushra Bibi at Adiala Jail.
In the affidavit, the lawyer expressed concern over the reported deterioration of Bushra Bibi’s eyesight.
According to the affidavit, Bushra Bibi told the lawyer that she was experiencing difficulty tolerating bright light and sunlight and was finding it difficult to open her eyes without protective glasses.
The lawyer further stated that Bushra Bibi had been diagnosed with cataracts and had reportedly been advised by doctors to undergo another eye procedure around November 15.
It may be recalled that Bushra Bibi also underwent an eye operation in April 2026, following which she was transferred back to Adiala Jail.
Bushra Bibi has also reportedly expressed dissatisfaction with the medical facilities and sanitation arrangements at the prison.
Through her petition, she has urged the court to ensure an immediate examination by specialist doctors and appropriate medical treatment to prevent any further deterioration of her eyesight.
The petition seeks urgent judicial intervention to ensure that Bushra Bibi receives proper medical attention and the healthcare facilities required for her treatment.
