Beginning May 2, 2006, Dr Chiluba will visit the doctors twice a week for review. At the end of the two weeks, we hope that the doctors would give him a longer review period. Otherwise, Dr Chiluba has remained in South Africa because the review days are close. |
Dr. Chiluba has been feeling weak and he needs further treatment in South Africa. The former president is out of immediate danger as far as we know. |
He has a serious heart condition. He also took an HIV test that showed that he was negative. This is why he intends to sue the newspaper for libel. |
He has had this general discomfort and that is why we are at the hospital to determine what is causing this general discomfort. |
He left the country this morning on a chartered plane. |
He will undergo medical tests beginning Monday... Then, it will be determined whether or not he should be hospitalized. |
Our plan is that he should be here between two weeks to one month. |
The government has refused to grant him permission to leave the country. |
We had assured the government that he will return back home immediately after the conference but they declined to sanction his trip. |
We should remember that matters of health are private and personal and therefore we will not make any further comment. |
