Putin Has Health Issues, Peskov Comments

The President of Russia, Vladimir Putin, does not have health issues, and the periodic check-ups he undergoes at the Central Clinical Hospital are standard medical examinations. This was stated by the spokesman for the head of state, Dmitry Peskov, to TASS.

“Of course,” he replied when asked if this refers to regular preventive measures rather than health issues. “We are referring to routine medical check-ups,” clarified the Kremlin representative.

During today's meeting with the government, Putin mentioned that he regularly undergoes medical examinations at the Central Clinical Hospital. This was discussed in the context of the seasonal flu vaccination campaign being implemented across the country. The country’s leader indicated that doctors at the Central Clinical Hospital advise vaccination with household medications.
