Kulsoom Nawaz, the ailing wife of ousted Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, was rushed to a London hospital again after her condition deteriorated, her daughter said on September 27.
Ms. Kulsoom Nawaz was diagnosed with early-stage lymphoma in August 2017 and has been in London since, where she has undergone three surgeries. Her daughter, Maryam Nawaz, who is in London, tweeted:
“Ami (mom) was taken & admitted to the hospital again late last night. Doctors are trying to stabilise her condition. Request for prayers.”
Ms. Kulsoom Nawaz recently won Lahore’s NA-120 seat vacated by her husband after he was disqualified by the Supreme Court in the Panama Papers case. She underwent a third surgery on September 21.
Quoting doctors, the Sharif family had said that Ms. Kulsoom Nawaz’s cancer was curable. Mr. Sharif, who was also in London for his wife’s treatment, returned to Pakistan on September 25, putting to rest all speculation that he would skip the corruption cases against him.
All other members of the family, including Ms. Maryam Nawaz and sons Hussain and Hassan, are still in London.
