“Umer Sharif is a valuable asset to us. “[The government] would do everything possible to support his treatment,” Chaudhry stated.
The federal government stated Monday that a medical board has been created to oversee Sharif’s treatment.
The board of directors has been entrusted with determining whether or not to send the actor abroad for treatment.
The television celebrity had asked Prime Minister Imran Khan to help him with his treatment.
Waseem Badami, news anchor, appealed through his Instagram handle this Thursday.
