Jailed former defence minister Mohamed Nazim was brought to the Indira Gandi Memorial Hospital (IGMH) in Malé this morning to consult a pulmonologist (lung specialist), two days after he was brought to consult a cardiologist and an orthopedic specialist.
Nazim’s brother Adam Azim told The Maldives Independent that the retired colonel has had countless hospital visits since his imprisonment in March due to complications with his health, stressing that Nazim did not suffer any of the problems before his arrest.
“He is having chest pains and breathing difficulties, along with the persistent problems in his eyes,” Azim said.
He noted that doctors had recommended on July 16 that Nazim be transferred to house arrest for three or four weeks of observation.
