Czech President Milos Zeman admitted to hospital

Czech President Milos Zeman was rushed to the hospital on Sunday. It came a day after the parliamentary election at a time when he has a key role in establishing a new government.

Prague’s military hospital confirmed Zeman was transported there from the presidential chateau in Lany, near Prague. Zeman's doctor is expected to give details of his condition later on Sunday. It’s a return to the hospital for the president after only a few weeks.

previously, Zeman was admitted on September 14 for what his office described later as a planned examination. It said CT scans, sonography checks and blood tests carried out by doctors didn’t reveal any problems or disease that would threaten his life.

The office said the president was only dehydrated and slightly exhausted. Zeman, 77, is a heavy smoker with a soft spot for a drink who has suffered from diabetes and neuropathy linked to it. He has trouble walking and has been using a wheelchair.
