"Our family is increasingly concerned," says Aseefa Zardari
My father has had no access to his doctors for 6 months.Govt purposely retracts information from his medical reports by govt doctors. As a diabetic heart patient with spinal issues, we fear for his health & have gone to Court for private doctors to be allowed to assess his health

President Zardari has still not been given access to specialist doctors and personal physician. Our family is increasingly concerned about his health. If anything happens to our father this govt will be held responsible.
