Karachi, April 01, 2025 – President Asif Ali Zardari was rushed to a private medical facility in Karachi late Monday night after experiencing a sudden decline in his health, sources close to the presidency revealed. The veteran leader, known for his long-standing role in Pakistani politics, was transferred to the hospital from Nawabshah, where he had been staying, following symptoms that included a high fever and signs of an unspecified infection.
According to hospital insiders, President Zardari arrived in a stable but weakened condition and was immediately placed under the supervision of a specialized medical team. “The president underwent a series of diagnostic tests to determine the root cause of his ailment,” a senior physician, speaking on condition of anonymity, told reporters outside the facility. “We are taking every precaution to ensure his swift recovery.”
The Pakistan People’s Party (PPP), which Zardari once led, issued a statement early Tuesday confirming that the president is receiving top-tier care. “A dedicated team of doctors is attending to him around the clock,” the statement read. “We are optimistic about his progress and ask the nation to keep him in their prayers.”
While initial reports sparked concern among supporters, PPP officials were quick to ease fears. “President Zardari is responding well to treatment, and his condition has shown noticeable improvement,” a party spokesperson said. “He remains in good spirits and is expected to resume his duties soon.”
Details about the exact nature of his illness remain scarce, with the hospital yet to release an official medical bulletin. However, sources suggest that the president’s age and history of health challenges may have contributed to the urgency of the situation. Political allies and well-wishers have begun arriving at the hospital, while social media has been abuzz with messages of support for the seasoned statesman.
As the nation awaits further updates, the focus remains on President Zardari’s recovery, with authorities promising transparency regarding his health in the days ahead. For now, the leader’s resilience—both political and personal—continues to be tested under the watchful eyes of his doctors and the public alike.
