Former Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari’s health “is good and he will be discharged from the hospital in a few days”, his personal physician Dr Asim Hussain said on Friday.
Dr Asim is the head of the medical board responsible for Zardari’s treatment. Zardari is undergoing treatment at a private hospital in Karachi’s Clifton area due to an infection in one of his lungs. On September 27, he was admitted to the hospital after his condition worsened.
Being personal physician of mr ASIF Ali Zardari. I would like to state that all his reports circulating are fake he is in good health and will be discharged in few days

Hussain took to Twitter early Friday to deny rumors circulating on various social media platforms about the PPP leader’s “deteriorating health condition”. He said that all such reports are fake as his patient is fine and will be sent home in a few days.
Responding to rumors of Zardari being flown abroad for medical treatment, doctors last week said his health was improving and there was no need to move him abroad.
On October 4, Zardari was examined by a team of doctors, most of whom are specialists in respiratory diseases, sources said. He came from Dubai.
According to the advice of the doctors, Asif Zardari is being diagnosed and treated correctly, so there is no need to transfer him abroad at present.
Dr. Asim Hussain said that Asif Zardari’s health has improved compared to the past.
“He has an infection in one of his lungs and is being treated for it,” Dr Hussain said.
This was the second time this year that Zardari had to be admitted to the hospital. In February this year, he was transferred to a private hospital after his health deteriorated.
