President Miloš Zeman was hospitalized on Sunday at the Central Military Hospital (ÚVN), where an ambulance with a mobile ICU brought him in a state of disrepair. Now the president’s condition is stable and he is in the clinic of anesthesia, resuscitation and intensive care, where he is cared for by a team of medics specializing in intensive care.

Due to the absence of Zeman’s consent, the hospital cannot provide more detailed information about the diagnosis or the condition of the head of state. Prague Castle does not provide sufficient information for a long time, which results in uncertainty and many speculations about Zeman’s condition.
