Omer Sharif, who was hospitalised in Germany after contracting mild pneumonia, is doing better now, Cardiologist Syed Tariq Shahab has confirmed.
Omer’s flight to Washington was delayed after he developed a fever on the German air ambulance. He was admitted to a hospital in Nuremberg, where he was diagnosed with pneumonia.
Omer is being treated with antibiotics, according to Dr Tariq. It has yet to be decided when he will be flown to the United States.
Travel from Germany to Washington will take eight to nine hours and the flight can only resume if Omer is fit to travel. The decision will be made in 12 to 24 hours.
The medical team in Washington is in coordination with the one in Germany. Omer’s dialysis will be performed today if needed, Dr Tariq added. —INP
