Pakistan People’s Party Parliamentarians (PPPP) terminally ill leader, Makhdoom Amin Fahim, who has been under intensive care treatment in Dubai for his cancer, Sunday night returned to Pakistan but for a few weeks, the party leaders said.
“As opposed to rumours doing rounds in the media, Amin Fahim is not critical at all. His condition has improved. That’s why he has been given a break so that he could spend some time home. His stay in Pakistan will be short for he has to continue his therapy abroad,” Advisor to Chief Minister Sindh, Ali Hassan told media at the airport.
Later, Amin Fahim, who was flown to Karachi in an air-ambulance, was shifted to a private hospital located in upscale Defence Housing Authority.
After he was diagnosed with cancer a few months back, Fahim, looking for advanced treatment, flew to Germany, where he received a not so successful lump surgery. He then tried his luck in United States but his condition tied the hands of physicians in a Boston hospital.
Since then he had been under post-surgery treatment in London –before moving to Dubai.
Earlier, party sources revealed his condition was not good. “There are little signs of improvement in his health” the sources added. However, his personal secretary ruled out such negative reports.
Furthermore, sources also quoted his close relatives as saying that Fahim’s homecoming was arranged after he had wished for it.
