The Casa Rosada has issued a press release detailing President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner’s medical condition and progress since her operation on 8th October to remove a subdural hematoma.
President Fernandez de Kirchner yesterday underwent a brain scan at the Favaloro Foundation as part of a routine check up.
Spokesman of the presidency, Alfredo Scoccimarro later assured the public that “she is very well, recuperating, all the checks have been done”. The scan showed “normal recovery for the amount of time that has elapsed since the surgery”.
He indicated that since the operation to remove a hematoma, the president has continued to recover normally with daily checks from neurosurgeon Dr Facundo Manes and cardiologist Francisco Klein y Ramiro Sánchez under the supervision of doctors Luis Bouonomo and Marcelo Ballesteros from the Presidential Medical Unit.
Scoccimarro added: “In the presidential residency, Cristina’s stiches were removed and yesterday the president visited the University Hospital of the Favoloro Foundation in order to have a brain scan.”
It was stated that checks will continue to be made each day until 30 days have lapsed since the original surgery. New assessment is to be carried out after that date. The medical advice concluded stating that she can go on short walks but must not engage in activities or exercise that require a large physical effort, anything that could stress her must be avoided.
