ISLAMABAD, Oct 13: Malala Yousufzai is showing signs of improvement and doctors have decided to reduce the quantity of sedatives in order to assess the extent of her recovery, the ISPR chief said on Saturday.

The 14-year-old is currently being treated at the army-run Institute of Cardiology in Rawalpindi. “Unconscious Malala moved one of her arms and a leg today,” Lt Gen Asim Bajwa said.

A panel of doctors will review her progress and decide whether she is required to be shifted abroad for treatment. A source said arrangements for treating her at an American hospital in Germany had been finalised.— Staff Reporter
