Neurologist: Saakashvili needs special rehabilitation, what we call neurorehabilitation and psychoneurological rehabilitation, the means of which we could not find in Georgia - there was discussion about transferring him abroad

According to Otar Toidze, a neurologist at the Empathy Center, the health of Georgia's third president, Mikheil Saakashvili, may deteriorate at any time due to anemia or mental illness.

As Toidze told reporters after visiting Saakashvili at the Gori Military Hospital, he needs special rehabilitation.

"His neurological status is leading to his illness. What remains stable is the problem of walking, coordination, mood changes, however, it does not go beyond the norm. This is mainly his neurological status. It now mainly requires special rehabilitation, we call it neurorehabilitation and psychoneurological rehabilitation, the means of which we could not find in Georgia with the volume and depth needed to treat a patient. He needs a specialized institution, which I doubt we can find in Georgia. There was discussion about transferring him abroad," Toidze said.

He clarified that the issue was not discussed with Mikheil Saakashvili today, however, there was a discussion a few days ago.

"His position is that he came here for a purpose," Toidze said.
