You're reading: Doctor: Tymoshenko can be sent back to prison

Ukraine's ex-prime minister Yulia Tymoshenko has successfully completed a rehabilitation course prescribed by German doctors, and there are now sufficient arguments for deciding on her further presence in this hospital, said Mykhailo Afanasyev, the chief doctor at the Central Clinic Hospital No. 5 in Kharkiv. 

“I want to note once again that as head of this medical institution, I will be compelled to personally ask a central health care executive body to consider further presence of patient Tymoshenko at this hospital so as to prevent disorder in the hospital. In my view, there are sufficient medical arguments for such a matter to be considered by a Health Ministry commission. First of all, the patient is in a stable health condition. Besides, she successfully underwent a rehabilitation course recommended to her by German doctors,” Afanasyev was quoted by the Ukrainian Health Ministry as saying on Monday.
