Pakistan Supreme Court Orders Imran Khan Hospital Transfer

Pakistan’s Supreme Court has ordered that jailed former prime minister Imran Khan be transferred to a hospital for nearly a month following concerns about his blood pressure, according to a report published on August 18, 2026.

The order comes amid a dispute over access to Khan while he remains in custody. The court-directed hospital stay places his medical condition and treatment under renewed judicial scrutiny.

The source record did not specify the hospital, exact duration beyond describing the transfer as nearly a month, or detailed medical findings. Further court or medical statements will be needed to clarify the arrangements and any effect on Khan’s legal proceedings.
