Mikheil Saakashvili taken to Republican Hospital

According to the third president of Georgia, Mikheil Saakashvili, he was taken to the Republican Hospital yesterday.

As Mikheil Saakashvili notes, he has undergone various examinations.

"Yesterday, after many months of requests, I was taken to the Republican Hospital late in the evening. Electro neuromyography and gastroscopic examination were performed. The first procedure completely confirmed the diagnosis of various medical councils - that in the penitentiary system I developed neuropathy because of them, when you no longer feel the limbs and different parts of the body, and that I have Wernicke’s encephalopathy, which casued movement and coordination disorders, memory loss and so on. Gastroscopy even showed numerous crises, not surprisingly.

Republican Hospital doctors told me that I need serious treatment urgently, otherwise the disease will quickly worsen and end in disability or death.

Complete treatment for these diseases is absolutely impossible in the Georgian penitentiary system. I think the violence carried out against me was intended to have such an outcome. I am writing all this because the Ministry of Justice will keep yesterday's diagnosis secret, as usual," Saakashvili says in his statement posted on Facebook.
