of the President of the Republic with regard to the condition of his health


Τhe condition of the health of the President of the Republic, Mr Nicos Anastasiades, is under control and there is no reason for any concern, the attending physician of the President, Dr Savvas Kadis, said yesterday, in the presence of the Government Spokesman, Mr Nikos Christodoulides.

In his remarks to the press, Dr Kadis, who is a specialist in Gastroenterology, said that “at noon today the President was admitted to the Aretaieio Hospital with symptoms of gastroenteritis which he suffered during the past few days. We decided that since the symptoms continued he should be admitted to the hospital for supportive therapy.”

On his part, Mr Christodoulides said that “the meeting scheduled for the 23rd of June with the leader of the Turkish Cypriot community has been postponed and, depending on the recommendations of the doctors, we will decide accordingly with regard to the European Council meeting in Brussels, which begins on Thursday,” and which the President is scheduled to attend.

In response to a question, the Government Spokesman said that the President continues to exercise his duties from the hospital.
