Vivamedi Clinic releases a statement regarding the health condition of the third president of Georgia, Mikheil Saakashvili.
According to the information spread by the clinic, Mikheil Saakashvili's health condition did not deteriorate during his stay in the hospital.
However, according to the clinic, the changes seen on magnetic resonance imaging - are older, are not related to the current condition of the patient, and do not require active medical intervention.
The clinic published a statement:
"Patient Mikheil Saakashvili was admitted to the Vivamedi Clinic on May 12. This year, based on the results of laboratory tests and the assessment of the patient by the specialists, he was placed in the therapeutic department for inpatient supervision.
In order to avoid possible complications due to insufficient food intake, the patient continues laboratory monitoring, is consulted by a specialist doctor of various profiles and has conducted numerous instrumental examinations (including magnetic resonance imaging).
The prolongation of the studies was directly related to the procedural issues, which involved obtaining permission from the patient, and the laboratory data allowed us to ‘wait’.
The health condition of the patient during the hospital stay did not deteriorate: the laboratory data is stable in dynamics, part of the results of instrumental examinations - without negative dynamics. Changes seen on magnetic resonance imaging - older, not related to the current condition of the patient, and does not require active medical intervention, it is recommended to observe the dynamics.
The information that is often voiced in the media that the Vivamed Clinic is not able to diagnose and manage the patient properly is absurd and offensive. It is totally unacceptable to put pressure on the clinic and the clinic doctors, to question their competencies, and to spread false information about the patient's health.
It is frustrating and questioning the repetition of the hysterical information that some patients are disconnected from reality, that the patient is not in contact, cannot move, the condition is critical, and so on.
“We urge everyone to act in the best interests of the patient," the statement read.
