PML-N’s supremo’s personal physician took to social media announcing that the air ambulance, equipped with an intensive care unit and an operation theatre, carrying Nawaz Sharif had arrived from Doha.
The Air Ambulance with Former PM #NawazSharif onboard landed in Doha, Qatar; will depart shortly after refuelling and air & medical crew change for London, UK.

However, not everyone seems to be happy with this latest development. Reactions over this situation are pouring in on social media.
Can anyone explain me the rationale behind taking a critically ill patient to London via Doha through an air ambulance when:
Travel time from Lahore to Doha is 4 hrs; and
Travel time from Doha to London is 7:40 hrsWhereas Travel time from Lahore to London is mere 7 hrs 🤷🏻♂️

Have looked up the Qatar Airways website & can't find any place where it mentions one can book an air ambulance
However, the flight's call sign on Flight Radar is A7Med – but that could be given by the airline itself even if it's not actually an air ambulance
🤔🤔🤔
