Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf chief Imran Khan was today discharged from a hospital here, over two weeks after he fractured his spine in a freak accident at an election campaign meeting.

"We are pleased to announce that this morning, Imran Khan was discharged home from Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital and Research Centre," the hospital said in a statement.

Yesterday, the cricketer-turned-politician was fitted with a specially designed brace or spinal support and he walked unaided for over 300 metres, said doctors.

Khan would have to wear the brace for four to six weeks, they said. Imran today walked from his room on the third floor of the Hospital to the exit on the ground floor, unaided, the statement said. "As previously explained, Imran will continue to receive regular physiotherapy."
