Just treat Anwar, he’s not going to run away, Wan Azizah urges Putrajaya

Opposition leader Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail is urging Putrajaya to allow her husband, de facto PKR leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, to be admitted to hospital. – September 30, 2015. 

Opposition leader Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail has urged the Health Ministry to admit her jailed husband, de facto PKR chief Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, into hospital due to his worsening health.

She said the move would allow him easier and more frequent access to medical treatment, particularly physiotherapy for his shoulder injury.

She added that warding Anwar would also be more convenient for his doctors.

"The medical treatment Anwar needs is very easy to approve, and the cost is not high," Dr Wan Azizah told a press conference at PKR headquarters in Petaling Jaya.

"It is easier if he is brought to the hospital. He can be treated in under an hour, and then they (the doctors) can tend to other patients. We are not denying treatment for other patients. He's not going to run away."

She said Anwar required physiotherapy and conservative treatment to reduce the pain and prevent his health from deteriorating further while awaiting surgery.
