Pakistan COAS General Qamar Javed Bajwa visited the ailing former president and army chief Gen (retd), Pervez Musharraf, in Dubai on Saturday. He spent some time with Gen Musharraf and his family at their Dubai apartment.
Pakistan Army Chief General Qamar Bajwa paid a visit to the former president and retired general of Pakistan, Pervez Musharraf on Saturday. Musharraf is suffering from Amyloidosis, a rare disease that affects the organ shape and functioning. He was admitted to a Dubai hospital following his organ malfunctioning.
As per the sources, Gen Bajwa was accompanied by some of the top physicians of the Pakistan Military. He spent some time with the former General and his family at the family’s apartment in Dubai while the accompanying doctors examined the 78-year-old former military ruler.
The former military ruler was diagnosed with a life-threatening health condition called Amyloidosis in the UAE in 2018. Gen Musharraf and his family greeted the army chief with great delight and enthusiasm.
However, there was no official word on the COAS visit to Dubai from the military’s media wing. The meet is kept off the records from the military’s official documents.
General Pervez Musharraf is living in self-exile with his family in Dubai since 2016 and has not yet made up their mind to fly him back to Pakistan. The family also complained about the lack of proper treatment in Pakistan, earlier this week.
Musharraf’s family ruled out the need for an uninterrupted supply and administration of the experimental drug Daratumumab alongside the associated treatment of Amyloidosis. The drugs are currently not available in Pakistan, the family wrote on Musharraf’s Twitter handle on June 19.
The family also disclosed that they had received assurances that the military and administration of Pakistan would make the veteran general’s return easy.
What is Amyloidosis from which General Pervez Musharraf is suffering?
According to the UK’s National Health Service, Amyloidosis is a group of rare and serious conditions that is caused by the build-up of an abnormal protein called amyloid in organs and tissues throughout the body. The protein then starts interfering with the normal function of the organs of the affected person.
