Former Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi was admitted to a hospital in Islamabad after experiencing severe chest pain, which doctors later confirmed was caused by a cardiac complication. Medical examinations revealed two blocked coronary arteries, prompting an emergency procedure in which cardiologists inserted stents to restore blood flow.
According to hospital officials, Abbasi was swiftly transferred to a private medical facility following the onset of symptoms. After the procedure, doctors confirmed that his condition had stabilised and that he is currently under observation. Family members and close aides have reported that he is resting and responding well to treatment.
Abbasi’s political party, Awaam Pakistan, issued a statement expressing relief over his improving condition and thanked supporters for their prayers and concern. Party leaders requested privacy for the former prime minister as he recovers.
Medical experts highlighted that the quick intervention was crucial in preventing further complications. They noted that coronary artery blockages remain a leading cause of cardiac emergencies and emphasised the importance of routine checkups and early detection, particularly for individuals under high stress.
As one of Pakistan’s senior political figures, Abbasi’s health has drawn significant public attention. He is expected to remain under close medical supervision for several days while doctors monitor his recovery and adjust his treatment plan.
