Public Defender Nino Lomjaria enters Gori Hospital to visit Mikheil Saakashvili together with 8 doctors. According to the ombudsman, the doctors will review the medical records and make a conclusion about the treatment carried out for Mikheil Saakashvili.
"The purpose is the same as in the previous case, this is the next visit of a group of medical experts to the ombudsman, who will conduct a medical examination of the patient. Traditionally, there will probably be their conclusion and recommendations regarding the treatment carried out or to be carried out,” said Lomjaria.
Mariam Jishkariani, the director of the Center for Empathy, said that a psychotropic drug was included in the medical care of the third President of Georgia, Mikheil Saakashvili.
Jishkariani does not understand why such a drug appears in the medical care plan of the third president, because he did not have psychosis. According to him, “inadequate use of psychotropic drugs in the prison is assessed as pharmacological torture.”
Nino Sharashenidze, a doctor at the government council, said that Mikheil Saakashvili was taking medication prescribed by his Dutch doctor due to post-cochlear complications and was not aware of any drug overdoses.
The former president was transferred from Gldani 18th Medical Institution on November 19 after a 50-day hunger strike at Gori Military Hospital.
