The health of former president and PPP Co-Chairman Asif Ali Zardari has been improving gradually at the Ziauddin Hospital in Karachi, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.

In the latest photo, a smiling Asif Zardari can be seen holding the hand of his younger daughter Aseefa Bhutto Zardari while the doctor was performing a test.

Earlier, a team of senior doctors was due to examine Asif Zardari who was admitted to the hospital Thursday night on account of deterioration in health.

Asif Zardari had to be admitted to the hospital since he was suffering from fatigue after visiting Islamabad and also had his blood pressure fluctuating.

Doctors were waiting for the results of different tests that they had prescribed for the former president so that his treatment could be continued in light of these test reports.

Meanwhile, the sources added that the doctors have advised Asif Zardari a complete bed rest.

On Friday, PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari and his sister Bakhtawar Bhutto along with her husband reached Karachi to inquire after the health of their father.
