Marchena says President Medinas health is excellent
SANTO DOMINGO. The spokesman for the Presidency, Roberto Rodriguez Marchena, said yesterday that the health of President Danilo Medina is excellent, and he made it clear that he traveled to the United States because the doctor that attends him wanted to check it with his equipment, which are not portable.

He indicated that the Dominican people do not have to worry because what the president has is dermatitis which will be treated and monitored.

He said that the visit by the President to his doctor was absolutely satisfactory, and he said that Medina will continue with his habitual rhythm of work, while he expects an improvement of the skin condition.

He made it clear that it no time was the work capacity of President Medina affected by the dermatitis which is under treatment.

He said that Medina went to the United States because the doctor that attends him wanted to see it personally, and that it was the President himself who decided to travel in order to submit himself to a physical exam, once the consultations by teleconference were finished.

He explained that the President has wanted to keep the name of the doctor and the medical center where he works in reserve. "This Doctor began attending him, and he feels fine, he got results," said the official.

He made it clear that his trip to Florida was not because there were no competent professionals in the country who could attend him, much to the contrary, the President has a lot of confidence in the medical professionals of the country, he said.

Upon being questioned if it would not be easier to have the doctor come to the country than have the President travel to him, Rodriguez Marchena answered: "it just happened, you know that going to Miami is like going to Santiago."

He added that the Chief of State, is very reluctant to abandon the care and the attention to his work, you know it very well from Monday to Sunday he is occupied in the work of government, he made a concession to the doctor, "I am going to pay you a visit so that you can check me out, I'm going to comply with your wishes," said Rodriguez Marchena.

He justified the fact that the trip by the President was in a private jet, because in that manner the Chief of State has the possibility to come and go at the time that he wanted.

The Government spokesman reported that President Medina has wanted to handle the issue of his health with discretion, because he doesn't like to be the center of the news, and because if he announced his presence in a health center it generates a lot of movement among the Dominicans around the clinic in order to know about his condition or to greet him, and this alters the order in the place wherever he is.
