The director of Vivamed explains why they do not recommend the transfer of Saakashvili

Nino Nadiradze, general director of Vivamed clinic, said that they will not issue a recommendation to transfer the imprisoned third president of Georgia to physically attend the trial. She told "Interpressnews" that they have never given a similar recommendation to patients admitted to the clinic.

"If he can go in and out, then why is he lying in the clinic? His condition is of moderate severity and he continues to be treated in the therapeutic department.

While the patient is in the clinic, we cannot give such a recommendation. When he will no longer be in the clinic, where he will be next, that institution gave a recommendation. Another case is when the patient takes you for examinations, moves to another clinic, etc.," said Nadiradze.
