The health condition of former Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko does not require her to undergo surgery, a member of the medical commission, Head of the Romodanov Institute of Neurosurgery Yevhen Pedachenko, has said.
"The methods of medical treatment that were proposed by the Ukrainian specialists have been confirmed, and we’re not currently talking about surgery," he said at a briefing on the results of the commission’s work in Kharkiv on Thursday.
The head of the commission, First Deputy Health Minister Raisa Moiseyenko, said the panel’s conclusions and recommendations will be passed to the penitentiary service, which will inform Tymoshenko about them.
"Yulia Volodymyrivna will decide" whether to accept these conclusions and recommendations, she said.
The documents that doctors from Germany and Canada have drawn up after examining Tymoshenko do not mention the term herniation, Moiseyenko said.
"The English-language documents do not mention such a diagnosis," she said.
The German specialists promised to send a special rehabilitation program for Tymoshenko, Moiseyenko said.
"As for rehabilitation methods, the former premier has already received and is using them," she said.
Two German and three Canadian doctors examined Tymoshenko earlier this week. The panel also included Ukrainian medics.
