The health of three-time prime minister Nawaz Sharif showed improvement on Thursday as his platelet count reached 40,000.
The Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) supremo is still admitted in Services Hospital, with no further episodes of chest pain for the last five days, said a doctor on the condition of anonymity.
On October 27, the former premier's health slipped into the danger zone as his blood platelet count drastically decreased from 45,000 to 25,000 within a day, forcing the doctors to stop his heart medication.
The Islamabad High Court (IHC) approved Nawaz’s bail plea on medical grounds in the Al-Azizia corruption reference.
