Former president General (R) Pervez Musharraf showed signs of recovery, after which he was shifted to the hospital’s VIP ward from the ICU on Saturday.
The former military ruler is under treatment for heart problems. He was taken to the military hospital with report of chest pain on Thursday while on his way to face treason charges in a special court in Islamabad.
According to sources, Musharraf walked a few steps last night (Friday) before he was shifted to the VIP ward.
Musharraf’s spokesman Major General (R) Rashid Qureshi confirmed his recovery and said doctors collected more blood samples Saturday morning and few blood reports had been prepared.
A seven-member medical board constituted for Musharraf’s treatment has yet to decide whether or not the former army chief should be referred for medical assistance abroad.
The board has held consultation with doctors in the US and the UK and an initial report has been shared with them, sources said.
His possible cardiac arrest has ignited speculations about his exit from Pakistan.
