Dawn newspaper quoted Defence Minister Khawaja Asif as saying Sharif would be hospitalised for a week after the surgery and would return to Pakistan when his doctors allowed it.
“Prayers are the most effect & potent medicine”.
The federal budget for the 2016-17 financial year is likely to be delayed and presented in second week of June due to illness of Prime Minister Nawaz, sources said on Saturday.
Doctors also removed two drain tubes from his chest, which alleviated the premier’s discomfort, added Maryam in another tweet.
Therefore, the prime minister had been visiting his doctor for follow up, she said. “After some recent symptoms a team of cardiologists and cardiac surgeons carried out some scans and tests, following which they made a decision to go for an open heart surgery”, she said.
Shehbaz added that the family is grateful to God Almighty for the success of PM Nawaz’s open-heart surgery.
The daughter of prime minister, Maryam Nawaz Sharif, also confirmed through twitter that her father will undergo an open-heart surgery on Tuesday. He is expected to stay in hospital for around a week to recover before traveling home. The prime minister underwent a check-up in Pakistan last month following which he chose to visit London for a proper medical check-up.
His last public statements were on Sunday, after the U.S. drone strike that killed Afghan Taliban leader Mullah Akhtar Mansour in the Pakistani province of Baluchistan, an attack Sharif condemned as a violation of Pakistan’s sovereignty.
