"They had a detailed consultation and evaluation of former prime minister Nawaz Sharif for further management," the doctor said.

Nawaz, who is suffering from heart related illness, was released on six-week bail on March 26 by the Supreme Court on medical grounds.

He was sentenced to a seven-year imprisonment in Al-Azizia reference by an accountability court in Islamabad.
