Zurab Chkhaidze: During the last few days, the doctor or nurse did not observe Saakashvili's loss of consciousness - Covid is in a mild form and there are no signs of complications at this stage

According to Zurab Chkhaidze, clinical director of Vivamed clinic, during the last few days, doctors and nurses have not observe any episodes of loss of consciousness of Mikheil Saakashvili.

As Zurab Chkhaidze told journalists, third president of Georgia has Covid infection in mild form and there are no signs of complications at this stage.

"The patient's condition is stable. His physiological parameters, such as hemodynamic and respiratory parameters, are normal. The patient has no temperature reaction, so what his lawyer said that he is a resuscitation patient, it's just the lawyer's view. The patient is examined daily by doctors of various specialties, and his parameters are not suitable for transfer to the critical department, so he continues treatment in the ward.

Covid is in a mild form. I am talking about risks in general, because Covid is characterized by complications. In this case, when there are other accompanying diseases, complications are not ruled out, but at this stage, there is no indication that we will have to deal with complications," said Zurab Chkhaidze.

Also, the clinical director of Vivamed answered the journalist's question about what he thought about the statement of Mikheil Saakashvili's mother, Giuli Alasania, according to which Mikheil Saakashvili, due to his neurological status, could not receive the specific medicines needed for a Covid-infected patient.

According to Zurab Chkhaidze, Mikheil Saakashvili takes the necessary medicines that he needs.

"His treatment is not limited in any way. Mikheil Saakashvili takes the necessary medicines he needs. They did not bring any additional equipment to the ward, because the patient does not need it. Mikheil Saakashvili's lawyers and Ms. Giuli Alasania know that the ward was fully equipped with the necessary equipment that the patient needed and he continues to be treated in the same ward. Mikheil Saakashvili's saturation is within the norm, so he does not need additional oxygen supply. What is the need for this?

As for the loss of consciousness episodes, this has been voiced for days, I don't know why. In none of the cases was the loss of consciousness recorded by the doctor or nurse. A personal nurse is attached to the patient, who is in the ward 24 hours a day.

I am telling you the reality as it is. Whose reality suits him is a separate issue. In history, this loss of consciousness is written as information "according to the patient", but it was not recorded in any case," said Zurab Chkhaidze.

According to him, Mikheil Saakashvili's lawyers did not present the PCR test. As noted by the clinical director of Vivamed, all other people who had contact with Mikheil Saakashvili were subjected to a PCR test and a negative response was recorded.

"Access to the patient is the prerogative of the penitentiary service. As for the contacts, our epidemiological service has completed the investigation. All those who have been in contact with the patient have tested negative. The only ones among the entrants are lawyers who did not submit a PCR test. A quick test may show a negative result, but the PCR test is different," said Zurab Chkhaidze.
