Fuerza Popular Party leader Keiko Fujimori on Sunday reported that her father,
Peru's imprisoned ex-President Alberto Fujimori, is currently in the Intermediate Care Unit.
The former President on Sunday was transferred from prison to Ate Vitarte Emergency Hospital for a bout of tachycardia and hypotension.
Afterwards, doctors decided to transfer him to the Centenario Clinic for monitoring.
"Right now he is in the Intermediate Care Unit. He is receiving medication to treat hypotension, and the time of discharge will be decided as he stabilizes," she told the press.
"He experienced an episode of hypotension and tachycardia, his episode of atrial fibrillation was quite severe. I thank the Ate Vitarte Emergency Hospital staff, who managed to stabilize him at that time, for their prompt and timely care," she added.
"The latest legal decisions have undoubtedly affected my father's health, and this shows how fragile [he is] due to the many illnesses he suffers. As always, we, his relatives, hope that he will get well and that he can as always overcome each of these complex situations that he has gone through," she stated.
Keiko Fujimori pointed out that the team of lawyers led by Cesar Nakazaki is discussing the next steps in defense of the former President.
As is known, former President Alberto Fujimori has been serving a prison term for crimes against human rights and corruption committed during his term in office.
