Papadopoulos’ condition improves

FORMER president Tassos Papadopoulos’ condition was yesterday deemed stable, after doctors found his health had improved.

Papadopoulos, who has been in Nicosia General Hospital’s Intensive Care Unit since Saturday, had been through a series of tests early yesterday morning, while doctors banned visitors as he is “too tired”.

The results of his tests were later examined and according to his doctors, the possibility of Papadopoulos going abroad for treatment needs to be reviewed.

The former President of the Republic had been rushed to the General Hospital at midnight on Friday from the private clinic were he was being treated since Wednesday for respiratory problems.

Despite going through a hard time in the early hours of Sunday, Papadopoulos was yesterday said to be improving.

DISY leader Nicos Anastassiades, EDEK leader Yiannakis Omirou and DIKO spokesman Fotis Fotiou were among those who visited the hospital yesterday, while former President George Vassiliou arrived from abroad and drove straight to the hospital to offer his support.

Government Spokesman Stefanos Stefanou also expressed his support towards Papadopoulos and his family.
