Asif Zardari hospitalised in Dubai
Senator Asif Ali Zardari, spouse of Pakistan People's Party (PPP) chairperson Benzir Bhutto, was admitted to hospital in Dubai early Friday morning following a severe attack of spondolytis, which has led to cardiac problems. He is suffering from spondolytis pain, caused by nerve compression due to bone deterioration.

Zardari will remain in hospital for a few days for angiography, pain management and monitoring. His doctor from Pakistan has flown to Dubai to give Zardari's medical history to his doctors in Dubai. Zardari was to return to Pakistan in May, but due to his continued indisposition he was forced to postpone his visit. Zardari is suffering from several ailments that developed during his eight-year long incarceration, including hypertension, spondolytis, muscle atrophy and diabetes. He has been unable to undergo sustained medical treatment due to his heavy schedule in Pakistan.
