Diagnosis of the Czech President CONFIRMED: A member of the council revealed details! He has to stay in the hospital – Topky.sk

Zeman was transferred from the intensive care unit to a regular bed on Thursday. “The president’s condition continues to require hospital care and at the moment does not allow him to fully devote himself to work duties,” said Winter.

The manifestations of the disease are severe

“The nature and manifestations of the underlying disease are certainly very serious and the refinement of the prognosis will depend on the development of the disease, which is itself difficult to treat,” Winter added. Members of the presidential council personally examined on Friday and also got acquainted with his medical records since the beginning of last week. They agreed that the president receives top-notch health care at Prague’s Central Military Hospital, where he has been since October 10.

The President of the Czech Republic, Miloš Zeman, has a feeding tube (PEG) in his stomach and will be in the hospital for at least three more weeks. When he was hospitalized on October 10, he was severely malnourished. This was stated for the radio station Rádiožurnál by cardiac surgeon Pavel Pafko, who is a member of the medical council examining Zeman’s condition, the news portal Novinky.cz stated.

Zeman has liver cirrhosis

Pafko also confirmed that Zeman has chronic liver disease. When asked by the moderator that according to various speculations it is cirrhosis, he answered: “Yes, so everything is clear.” He then explained that cirrhosis has had minimal or no symptoms for many years.

Zeman’s condition in the hospital improved significantly. “When I saw the lab results when he came to the hospital, he was severely malnourished. As for anorexia, it’s part of the symptoms of his liver disease.” said Pafko. According to Pafek, the President of the Czech Republic currently has a feeding tube inserted into his stomach, which was very reasonable from his point of view. Doctors introduced the probe to the president on October 10, the day he was hospitalized.

He plans to appoint Fiala as prime minister

Zeman has long suffered from lower limb neuropathy and diabetes. On Friday, he telephoned the incumbent Prime Minister Andrej Babiš and also gave an interview to Radio Frekvence 1. He informed him that he planned to appoint Petr Fiala, the leader of the winning Coalition Together, as the new Prime Minister. He is due to contact Fiala via video conference on Saturday.

The Senate Committee will discuss the way forward on 9 November

If Zeman is able to perform at least his most important constitutional duties, there is no reason to transfer his powers, said Senate President Miloš Vystrčil (ODS) in response to the Council’s opinion. Babiš, who believes that Zeman “is able to work completely normally” has the same opinion. On November 9, the Senate Committee is to discuss further steps in the possible withdrawal of Zeman’s presidential powers in connection with his state of health.
