Nawaz will be shifted from Kot Lakhpat jail to Services Hospital today, sources said.
In December last year, Nawaz was sentenced to seven years in prison in the Al-Azizia Steel Mills reference by an accountability court.
A few days earlier, a team of doctors, including cardiologists, had conducted a medical examination of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) supremo at Kot Lakhpat jail.
Blood samples of the former premier were sent to Jinnah Hospital and he had been taken to Punjab Institute of Cardiology (PIC) for further tests.
Three tests, including echocardiogram (ECG) and Thallium, were conducted of the former premier at PIC and his medical reports showed that his heart was bigger than normal.
Senior doctors had recommended that the former premier be shifted to a hospital.
Following the medical reports, PML-N leaders had criticised the federal and Punjab government for not granted the former premier "proper treatment" and rejecting his "fundamental rights".
'Not handing over medical reports to family raises questions'
Meanwhile, PML-N spokesperson Marriyum Aurangzeb said, "Such treatment of a three-time prime minister shows the moral degradation of the federal and Punjab government."
"The decision to not handover Nawaz's medical reports to his family is alarming and raises questions," she added.
Aurangzeb demanded that the nation be apprised regarding Nawaz's health and his medical reports be handed over to his family immediately.
