Immediate Medical Attention Provided
On October 31, 2024, President Asif Ali Zardari sustained a leg fracture while disembarking from a plane at Dubai airport. A spokesperson for the President’s House confirmed that he was swiftly transported to a local hospital for medical evaluation.
Medical Treatment and Recovery Plan
Following a thorough check-up, doctors plastered the president’s leg to aid in its recovery. He has since been advised to rest for four weeks as part of his recovery process.
Well Wishes from Political Leaders
Governor of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Faisal Karim Kundi, expressed his best wishes for Zardari’s speedy recovery. In a post on social media platform X, he emphasized the importance of strength and resilience during this time, looking forward to Zardari’s prompt return to public service.
PPP leader Sehar Kamran also offered prayers for Zardari’s healing, noting his status as an inspirational figure for many. She stated, “Allah Almighty may bless him with good health and long life.”
Past Health Issues
This incident follows a series of health challenges for Zardari. In September 2022, he was hospitalized in Karachi due to a lung infection and was discharged shortly after. Previous reports had circulated regarding his health, but his personal physician, Dr. Asim Hussain, clarified that Zardari had contracted COVID-19 in July 2022 but had mild symptoms and had received both vaccination and booster shots.
Zardari’s recent injury has raised concerns among his supporters, who hope for his swift recovery and return to leadership.
