Pakistan’s President Asif Ali Zardari hospitalized in Karachi

President Asif Ali Zardari was admitted to a private hospital in Karachi on Monday after his health deteriorated.

According to reports, President Zardari’s condition is not critical, despite health concerns. He remains under close medical supervision in the hospital’s executive room.

The president was initially brought to Karachi from Nawabshah after experiencing a fever and an infection.

Doctors conducted several tests and are closely monitoring his condition. Neurological specialists are also assessing numbness in his hands and feet.

Zardari was in Nawabshah to celebrate Eid al-Fitr when his condition deteriorated. He offered Eid prayers at Zardari House in Nawabshah, where a large number of people joined him.

The President had several meetings scheduled in Nawabshah, but they were canceled after he developed a fever.

Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif reached out to President Zardari to inquire about his health, the Prime Minister’s Office said in a statement.

During their conversation, PM Shehbaz expressed his well wishes for Zardari’s swift recovery. “May Allah grant you a full and speedy recovery. The entire nation’s prayers are with you,” he said.

Further updates on the president’s health are expected in the coming days.
