"I dont believe theres any secrecy involved. The presidents office clearly stated that he was in Paris for medical treatment and that his condition is not serious. His personal doctor has also provided detailed information about his illness, which is quite different from the situation in 2005 when the president was ill and sent to Val de Grace Hospital in Paris without much disclosure. This transparency is important to dispel any rumors."
