The former premier along with his daughter left Lahore’s Services Institute of Medical Sciences (SIMS), where they had been admitted since October 23 and 24, respectively. Doctors said that there is threat to the life Nawaz Sharif until the treatment of platelets. His sugar level is not under control. Doctors had discharged Nawaz Sharif from Services Hospital yesterday but he stayed in Services Hospital due to a delay in the issuance of the ‘Robkar’ (release order) of his daughter Maryam Nawaz. An ambulance reached Services Hospital to shift Nawaz Sharif but he traveled to Jati Umra on his personal vehicle after a medical check-up was done which showed that his platelet count has further dropped to 30,000.
