Senator Leila De Lima has been granted a three-day emergency furlough by two Muntinlupa courts after she appeared to have suffered from a mild stroke.
De Lima arrived at the Manila Doctor’s Hospital Saturday (April 24) to undergo a medical examination and will stay there until April 26.
The senator sought a medical furlough after experiencing “bouts of headaches and persistent generalized weakness.” She was visited by her physician on April 21.
“The examination by Dr. Santos-Cao left an impression that Accused De Lima experienced a Transient Ischemic Attack (mild stroke), hence the urgent and extremely important need to rule out a cerebrovascular accident,” De Lima’s motion for medical furlough read.
De Lima said she asked the courts to allow her to be examined specifically at the Manila Doctor’s Hospital because “the institution already is privy to her medical history, and it is the primary hospital of her other doctors who are consultants there.”
The senator said the Philippine National Police – General Hospital (PNP-GH) currently does not have the equipment necessary such as the Magnetic Resonance Imaging and other tests to assess her condition.
Both Judge Liezel Aquiatan of Br. 205 and Judge Romeo Buenaventura of Br. 256 granted De Lima’s Very Urgent Motion for Medical Furlough on April 23 for “health and humanitarian” reasons.
De Lima is detained at the PNP custodial center at Camp Crame over drug-related charges.
