He said the Pekan MP's health was satisfactory.
"Views from professionals and specialists said on Friday that Najib's health was satisfactory," he said.
However, he said to avoid any disputes he was admitted to HKL on Monday for further examinations.
"I informed the Deputy Director-General (Medical) Datuk Dr Asmayani Khalib to immediately do all checks and screenings so that there would be no more disputes.
"The report will be given to Najib and the courts if necessary," he said during a press conference at his ministry, here, today.
Khairy said this after reports stating Najib's family members questioning reasons why he was asked to return to prison and was not admitted to HKL.
Khairy added two consultations were held with Najib's family including with Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor.
"I did not want to give further information but it had become a public issue so I need to address it to protect the integrity of the health ministry," he said.
Khairy has also denied claims that Najib's high blood pressure medicine were changed.
"Previously his medicines were from private hospitals, but when he was referred to HKL he was given generic medicine.
"The medicine are the same with the same formula but generic," he said.
He said the accusations of the medicine being changed as if picturing a completely different medicine was untrue.
"The generic medicine has the same contents.
"This explanation is important because there are accusations from officers and Najib's family members," he said.
Previously Najib's Special Officer Muhamad Mukhlis Maghribi had said Najib's blood pressure was high and on a dangerous level following the changes of medicine given to treat his stomach ulcer.
