Michel Barnier's doctor announced that no “suspicious cells” had been discovered during the analysis of the cervical lesion carried out at the end of October on the Prime Minister.
Reassuring news. The analysis of the cervical lesion, on which Michel Barnier was operated on at the end of October, “did not find any suspicious cells”, announced his doctor in a press release published by Matignon on Tuesday evening.
“The Prime Minister is continuing his activities normally, as he has been doing” since his operation which took place on the weekend of October 26, added Doctor Olivier Hersan.
Michel Barnier's surgical intervention had gone “very well” according to his doctor, and the Prime Minister was able to resume his work normally at the Matignon Hotel the following Monday, and his public activities a few days later.
It was the first time in forty years that a head of government underwent a medical operation.
In 1984, Socialist Prime Minister Pierre Mauroy was admitted to the Parisian Val-de-Grâce hospital to treat acute pneumonia.
