Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Maryam Nawaz said on Sunday that doctors had yet to give a clear response on her ailing mother Begum Kulsoom’s health.
“Doctors do not give clear answers when we ask them about my mother’s health,” Maryam said, while responding to a journalist outside Harley Street Clinic in London. The daughter of former prime minister Nawaz Sharif continued, “She is still unconscious.”
Maryam, however, shared, “When I called out my mother’s name she nodded in response once. I think my mother can hear us.”
The PML-N leader also said that Begum Kulsoom responded when the ventilator settings were altered. Hussain Nawaz, while speaking to the media outside the clinic, said, “Doctors are doing their best to help my mother recover. The rest is in God’s hands.”
Begum Kulsoom was admitted to a hospital in London in August last year after doctors discovered she was suffering from throat cancer. She has been undergoing treatment since.
On June 14, Begum Kulsoom was shifted to the hospital’s ICU after she suffered a cardiac arrest and has since been on life support.
