Islamabad, Jan 4
Former Pakistan president Pervez Musharraf is said to be in stable condition even as the doctors ascertain the need for sending him abroad for treatment, a media report said Saturday.
"The general is feeling well and we are conducting his medical check up at regular intervals... every two hours," The Nation quoted Major General retd. Azhar Kiyani, one of the top doctors treating Musharraf, as saying Friday.
"It is, however, not decided whether to send him abroad for treatment," Kiyani added.
After failing, for the second time in 10 days, to appear Wednesday in the special court formed to try him on charges of high treason, Musharraf was being taken to the court Thursday when he complained of a "heart problem" and was then shifted to the Armed Forces Institute of Cardiology (AFIC) in Rawalpindi.
So far, no official statement has been issued by the army-run hospital about Musharraf's condition.
Musharraf remained under observation of senior cardiologists at Cardiac Care Unit-II of the hospital for the second consecutive day Friday.
