In response to a\u00a0challenge<\/a>\u00a0from the ruling \u201cGeorgian Dream\u201d party to conduct a pre-election drug screening, former Prime Minister and Tbilisi mayoral candidate Giorgi Gakharia stated that not to embarrass local forensics, he would take the screening in a foreign laboratory. On September 17th, on his personal Facebook page, Gakharia\u00a0shared<\/a>\u00a0the results of an examination conducted at the RUDOLFINERHAUS hospital in Vienna, stating that the use of drugs has not been confirmed.<\/p>\n

On September 22nd<\/sup>, \u201cImedi TV\u201d responded to Giorgi Gakharia\u2019s post with a journalistic\u00a0experimen<\/a>t. In Vienna, a journalist proclaimed that Rudolfinerhaus does not provide a drug screening service. She also asked Dr. Mohammed Baghei – the name indicated in a report published by Gakharia – about the drug screening in the street. The doctor responded to the journalist that the patient\u2019s information was confidential and would not answer any questions.<\/p>\n

Apart from \u201cImedi TV,\u201d On September 18th<\/sup>,\u00a0POSTV<\/a>\u00a0has contacted RUDOLFINERHAUS, claiming that the clinic has confirmed that Dr. Muhammad Baghei is working as a neurologist at the hospital to treat depression, fatigue, dementia, and memory loss. However, the clinic has no information on whether Dr. Baghei has the competence to conduct drug screening.<\/p>\n

The story of \u201cImedi TV\u201d tries to question the credibility of Giorgi Gakharia\u2019s drug screening; however, the argument is not accompanied by relevant evidence, which would call into question the document published by the former prime minister. It should be noted that the clinic RUDOLFINERHAUS has an on-site lab that conducts any laboratory analysis and diagnostics, and the clinic\u2019s, as well as the doctor\u2019s avoidance of answering questions from a journalist, is due to the obligation to protect the confidentiality of the patient.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

RUDOLFINERHAUS is a private hospital in Vienna that has been operating since the late 19th century. The clinic is multidisciplinary and\u00a0provides<\/a>\u00a0patients with the following types of medical services:<\/p>\n
