Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz has refuted media reports suggesting she has throat cancer, clarifying that her health concerns stem from an issue with her parathyroid gland.

Speaking at a Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) event in London, where she was accompanied by her father, former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, Maryam explained that she had recently visited Geneva for specialized medical check-ups.

She assured supporters that her condition is manageable and does not involve cancer. "I have been working continuously for eight months and have been dealing with a parathyroid issue that can only be treated in Switzerland or the United States," she said.

Maryam further emphasized, "I don't have throat cancer as reported. I felt compelled to address these rumors but didn't wish to portray myself as a victim." Maryam confirmed that she will return to Pakistan in two days.
