According to the doctor of Elene Khoshtaria, one of the leaders of the Coalition for Change and founder of Droa, the politician could not undergo a full examination due to severe pain.

The doctor believes that in order to exclude all possible risks, it is necessary to continue the patient's examination in a multi-profile clinic, since it is impossible to start treatment without a preliminary diagnosis.

Doctor Maka Ioseliani spoke about the health condition of Elene Khoshtaria, one of the leaders of the Coalition for Change, after visiting Khoshtaria in the Rustavi Women's Prison.

“I visited the patient, before that, as far as I could, I familiarized myself with the previous events and the anamnesis, which began, presumably, in 2024.

As a result of the patient’s examination, damage to several joints was revealed, both peripheral and central, these are small joints, phalanges, knees, hips, some of which could not be examined due to severe pain, despite the patient’s attempts to do so.

I familiarized myself with the radiological examination, which was conducted in April 2026, there are changes characteristic of rheumatic disease, there is a hip joint, the inflammation of which is described.

There is severe pain, it is difficult for her to move independently, she uses a cane, it is difficult, although she performs certain movements within the framework of self-service. According to these data, the rheumatic pathology is an inflammatory joint pathology, which is likely progressing, because in 2024 there were only peripheral joints. In 2024, Turkish doctors diagnosed reactive arthritis, now the situation has changed radically.

However, this problem does not end there. In 2024, the presence of hemolytic anemia was recorded in the Republic of Turkey.

During the same period, there was talk of certain infections, which were treated. At a certain time in 2024, there was talk of lung damage, which could not be fully verified.

All this makes it necessary to conduct examinations, it is important to consult several specialists and conduct numerous tests, as well as to determine the role of autoimmune hemolytic anemia.

It was difficult to examine the patient, despite her determination. This was difficult because of the pain. The patient found it difficult to lie down on the medical table for examination. We could not examine her because of the pain - the hip joint was dislocated, and the hip joint movement could not be assessed.

I think that the tests should be conducted in a multidisciplinary clinic, because all possible options should be excluded, all risks should be calculated,” said rheumatologist Maka Ioseliani.
