A group of specialists/experts set up by the Public Defender of Georgia made another visit to the VivaMedi clinic to assess the condition of Mikheil Saakashvili. Members of the January 25 group physically examined patient, read the relevant part of the medical materials and talked to the medical staff of the clinic.

The following experts took part in the visit: neurologist Tengiz Tsuladze and anesthesiologist-reanimatologist Giorgi Grigolia. Cardiologist/arrhythmologist Giorgi Papiashvili, therapist, internal diseases and hospital medicine specialist Grigoli Khurtsidze, hematologist, clinical oncologist, internist and palliative medicine specialist Aida Gozalova, cardiologist Giorgi Kacharava and endocrinologist Nino Zavrashvili also participated in the online discussion held after the visit.

Conclusion: Currently, there is a positive dynamic, which can be seen in the weight gain and negative orthostatic test. However, cognitive impairment, muscle hypotrophy, neuropathy, anxiety, and depression persist. According to the group of doctors, the patient needs close medical supervision and psychological intervention.

According to the group, the current positive dynamics is due to the fact that the patient has been under the supervision and treatment of highly professional doctors in a multi-professional clinic for more than a year and a half. However, all psychoneurological pathologies are still of the same quality. Accordingly, the group considers that the patient’s condition does not allow solid positive forecasts to be made yet. The group of doctors will make another visit to the patient as needed.
