President Abdul Aziz Bouteflika, hospitalised in France after suffering a mini-stroke, is in good health and will return to Algeria within a week, his doctor was quoted as saying on Monday.
“The president is in very good health... He will come back to Algeria in several days... in not more than seven days,” Rashid Bougherbal told the Algerian daily Ennahar, after speaking to Bouteflika on Sunday morning.
The 76-year-old leader suffered a “transient ischaemia” on Saturday and was flown to Paris for treatment at the Val de Grace military hospital, which often receives high-profile patients.
Ennahar said Bouteflika had resisted being treated in France, but the doctor had insisted, saying the analysis and scan required were not available in Algeria.
