German doctors to examine Tymoshenko treatment conditions

German doctors to examine Tymoshenko treatment conditions
Ukrainian officials says German doctors will arrive in Ukraine on April 13 to examine the conditions at a hospital where jailed ex-Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko has been offered medical treatment.

A Foreign Ministry official said the doctors had "verbally" informed Ukraine's embassy in Germany that they are ready to examine the hospital in the city of Kharkiv, RFE/RL reports.

Western doctors who examined Tymoshenko earlier this year found that she suffered debilitating pain from a slipped disk.

As reported, Tymoshenko refuses to undergo treatment in Kharkiv hospital, insisting on a foreign clinic and independent doctors.
