Saakashvili's psychoneurological condition has not changed

A council of doctors of the Public Defender of Georgia checked the health of ex-President Mikheil Saakashvili. He is being held in the Vivamedi clinic in Tbilisi after a long hunger strike.

“He weighs 77.4 kg. Anorexia and cachexia are slowly being overcome by doctors. Psychoneurology remains almost at the same level, he has anxiety, he is nervous. Apart from medical services, this environment is no different from a prison,” said anesthesiologist-resuscitator Georgy Grigolia.

At the end of October last year, Saakashvili weighed 70 kg, and in April - 60 kg with a height of 195 cm.
According to doctors, if the ex-president is returned to prison, then within a few weeks, if not a few days, he will need to be sent back to the clinic.

Recently, the Council of Europe Committee for the Prevention of Torture published a report on the situation at the Vivamedi clinic. The European organization stated that in the clinic there is disrespect for the patient’s privacy and medical confidentiality, and a lack of systematic access to psychiatric care and fresh air.
