PM’s annual medical report says he is in ‘completely normal state of health’
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is in a “completely normal state of health,” according to an annual medical report by the premier’s medical team, published by the Prime Minister’s Office.
The report says that the prime minister is under routine surveillance for his health, and that he maintains a healthy lifestyle.
The report says that since Netanyahu’s pacemaker was implanted earlier this year, there has been no evidence of arrhythmia or any other conditions.
The premier underwent a “routine follow-up” in October, the report says, without specifying the date. During that examination, it was found that the pacemaker was working correctly, the report says.
Netanyahu had a pacemaker fitted earlier this year, a week after he was hospitalized and had a heart monitoring device implanted. Doctors later revealed that Netanyahu’s heart monitor indicated that he had a “transient heart block,” necessitating the pacemaker.
At the time, questions swirled over the 74-year-old premier’s health and whether the severity of the situation had been obscured from the public.
