France says President Mwanawasa is receiving the best medical treatment in that country.
French Ambassador to Zambia, Francoise Le Bihan said President Mwanawasa has continued to receive medical attention from some of the best medical practitioners in France.
Ms. Le Bihan also said the French are praying for the quick recovery of the President.
She said this in Lusaka during celebrations to mark the French national day at her residence.
At the same function Finance Minister, Ng’andu Magande thanked the France for the hospitality being accorded to President Mwanawasa and the first family.
He said France has contributed greatly to the well being of Zambians in social and economic development.
Mr Magande urged the French government to increase its efforts towards in the socio and economic emancipation of Zambia.
Mr. Magande said there was need for the French government to continue assisting Zambia to fully recover from its economic depression in order to improve the living standards of her people.
He said the French government should contribute to the well-being of Zambians in areas of the socio-economic development that include the health and education sectors.
Mr. Magande also thanked the French government for the crucial role it has continued to play in providing Zambia with the much needed professional human resource.
He said the French government’s sending of more human resource to Zambia was a clear testimony that country’s commitments to assist the country to meet its targeted human resource.
And French Ambassador to Zambia pledged her country’s continued support to Zambia’s socio and economic development.
Mrs. Le Bihan said her country would continue supporting Zambia in many areas of economic development.
She said France would to assist Zambia in areas such as health and education, which she said were key sectors of the country’s development.
She has since urged French companies to invest in Zambia as a way of helping her to uplift people’s living standards.
they are not send man power to zambia, they are creating employment for their unemployed population!!!!!!!!
Ms Ambassador best treatment for what? I am tired of these hollow assurances.
If he is recieving best treatment why cant we see pictures even a video.????????? If that is the case why is he still “stable”
#1 and 2 spare the French people and their Ambassador with your comments. She is merely carrying out her designatzed duties. It was not their plan to hospitalize our head of state, was it?
i jst feel the french ambassador’s centiments towards our president are a fomality. why so coscious on a likely scenarior. Zaza is an illussion and MUGABE’s prophesy must not be shung. Zed’s prepare for the mystery…
Thank you Mrs French Ambassador, Le bihan, for your best treatment of H.E. Mwanawasa and the prayers.
Keep it up.
I don’t think Sarkozy is even aware of Levy’s admission to one of his country’s hospitals.Even if he is it seems that it is not a big issue to him.He has not visited the hospital yet and ask the French in France whether anyone knows about that.French is predominatly secular so I wonder who is praying in this case.I personally feel that the French Abassador is only going with the flow and as the saying goes when in Rome do as the Romans (in this case the likes of Rupiahs,Kateles).
Imagine if she had to go by the French doctors assessment…headline news?Scandal?Or the need to appologise for telling the truth…
I think the french ambassador mearnt to say the the french are PAYING for mwanawasa and not praying for him?
She just wanted to say something about it. Honestly who would have given her such information having known that non of the french authorities have visited LPM in hospital.
it has been two weeks know and we still recieve the same knew with only the changing of words but they have faild to change STABLE.
We need to put a petition to send one of the reporters from the post to bring us more accurate infromation. Yes he is the head of state but we are the ones who elected him as president and we demand to know with whats happening to his health. VIVA press fredom, VIVA the truth.
I don’t care anymore.
Am also skeptical on why Sarkozy president of France has not visited Mwanawasa in hospital. And why is the stability of Mwanawasa not justified? VP give proper information.
ManU 11. and The Government 9., whats wrong with you people, Levy is not your relative, worry about your family and not your president. Do you get food coupons from him? Go and work.. that is the best advise you can get. And avoid dreaming on Sarkozy, there is nothing in common with Levy. Don’t imagine that he even knows Manawasa, and both can’t even pronouce each other’s full names.
#12 did you forget to take your pills today.
I wonder if heaven has a ghetto.
Best treatment good. let the doctors hold a press conference as this is a head of state!! Mulongoti and Mpombo sound typical UNIP in this day and age What a Joke!!!
STABLE STABLE STABLE STABLE STABLE STABLE STABLE STABLE STABLE, THE OFFICIAL WORD IN THE ZAMBIAN MOUTHS.
If everything is stable, then there is no life as its only in death when thermodynamically we apply the term stable, that is the lowest energy of a particular system. If a person tends toward stability, wafwa walemana boyi pantu ninshi wa amba ukutentemuka.
Tiuzeni va zo ona ba mulongoti naba antelope naba rupia= is it money as lupia kaya
We all know the truth.
For real………..the truth is comming out each dayn and that day wil come when no more lies will be told or entertained.I do remember getting alot of infor when Sharon had just gone through what just happened to LPM and those guys had nothing to hide cos it is reality.Just counting the days,hoping that in 90 days,LPM wil be fit enuff to rule or we move forward without him.Remember this is a country and not a village or chiefdom.
HERE WE GO,NOW ITS THE FRENCH AMBASSADOR JUMPING ON THE BAND WAGON OF THIS BEST TREATMENT CRAP.WHAT WE NEED TO KNOW,AND FROM DOCTORS TREATING HIM IS THE PROFESSIONAL UPDATE OF LEVY’S CONDITION.WE ARE TIRED OF HEARING FROM THESE SELF CONTRADICTING FOUL MOUTHS. Dr MANDA IS RIGHT,TIME FOR JOKES IS OVER,WHY THE COVER UP? SAKI,WELDONE TOO,THESE CHAPS NEEDS TO BE PRESSURED NOW.
Dr Manda Francis has joined the doubting Thomas academy. Welcome my dear. We hope to see light at the end of the Tunnel. Just a by way, how come KK, Mugabe and the old timers have ruled for longer periods without hearing that they have suffered life threating illnesses? Could it be the accident that has contributed to LPMS ill health over the past few years?
8#7, thank you both. so who will break the sadnews[ ubulwele bwa mfumu litensha chalo], the sickness of the great leader shakes the earth, MMD, AND THE CABINET IS SHAKEN, so what is the way forward, this the end of the rule for the family tree.
Thanks for objectives comments from the likes of Prof Chirwa, Dr manda, though we have not heard from our former Presidents, the situation is very bad in france, the sooner we find the next Leader for the nation the better.
Thanks.
madam Bihan good that you are also saying the hear say. are you sure France is giving LPM best treatment? Better keep quite than say something that you do not know. I guess Sharon is being given best treatment as well. His breathing is satisfactory and the condition is stable like___________not__—____—-____—- so stable to me means the graph is not changing_____________________stable.
Mdm ambassador, pls just shut up! Magande, is the medical treatment he’s receiving for free? is Maureen and the entourage being kept on the French Treasury’s tab? I don’t think so bwana, we the tax payers are paying heavily for it so why are u thanking the French? Sarkozy does’nt give a damn, he’s more interested in media grabbing sideshows like the columbian hostage story!
but how is LPM doing?that’s what we want to hear.when is he coming home?
Imwe, Levy is on life support and if they switch off the machines and tubes, that’s the end of him. They can’t bring him back with the machines because of load shedding in Zed (thanks to his bro Sisala)! Question is, how long can the tax payer afford to keep Maureen and kids in Paris? only time will tell…I’m not a prophet of doom, but Levy ain’t coming back in one piece!
OOOOOOOOOOH I SHUDER WITH FEAR AND TREMBLING AT THE SOUND OF NUMBER 26, HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
#24, have u read the story or u are posting your comment based on some bloggers early commenet about “praying or paying”?
offcourse its our tax that is sustaining those at his bedside including himself on the bed
We should prepare for the worse case. I don’t understand why we are not looking at a plan B.Or maybe there is no plann B.#26 you are right even if LPM comes back chances are that he will not function effectively are high, those of you that are in the medical field know this. LPMs time is up. The best thing to do is to move forward. Let us not be emtional. RB and Mpombo please stop shedding tears , you have got work to do.Lets move our nation forward. Ba LPM is sick.
#12 i think you are sick in your head. you are telling us not to worry,i think ulichipumbu sana.get your pills.pliz you dont know how important that seat is.ulichiwelewele
The president is stable!! Long live the president!!
Dr Manda’s concern is that of a very highly qualified professional,what is wrong for those French Doctors to hold a press conference like they were doing on CDE ARAFAT’s illness,and tell Zambia and the world what this (Stable,Minor Operation,Difficulties in breathig,Restful) junk is all about.Remember that same God says that ‘My people perish because of ignorance,but they have rejected to seek KNOWLEDGE’We need to know what the hell is happening at Percy Hospital. And you Mulongoti,stop responding to everyone who seeks the naked truth,atase,Foul Breath!!!
#28, ofcourse I read the article bird brain! I was simply questionaing Magandes logic of thanking the ambassador for the French hospitality accorded to the first family?…what i know is that we are paying for these services so why the patronage? there’s nothing like free lunch bwana. #31, don’t be daft, a stroke victim can be comatose and STABLE and survive on life support in a vegetative state for even 10 yrs! Good luck in paying for that…
I prefer to shut up when i don’t understand something but on this one i do so let me tell you regular critics that the French government is paying for Levy’s treatment and his relatives’ stay in France.The Egyptian government also took on the cost incurred in treating the President in Egypt so yes,thank you to the French government especially Sarkozy the President.
Best Treatment my A..
You people you behave like devils. You wish some one dead. Have a kind heart and not that one which hates
#33, what is bird brain ayi?
Imagine if Levy was your father, would you be saying the heartless things you are asking? The president is the first citizen don’t even start the U.T.H story, he has to receive the best treatment whatever, were ever he is the president.
#2 am with you…………..we are all tired of all this.
Hello people – How do I upload the picture of Malon Zaza so you can all see how he looks like.
Tinta #40, u can’t upload pics onto this blog, best u can do is paste his pic onto a photo sharing website and provide us with the web link! FYI topic at hand is Levy’s state in paris, we don’t really give a toss bout that wanksta Marlone Zaza…
If I see another STABLE update from RB or Mulongoti, I swear to God I will cut their nuts off! Stop treating us like babies, we deserve to know our Fathers condition regardless how bad it is!
GRZ is hiding vital info on the Presidents condition, can the Dr’s attending to him provide a detailed update atleast twice a week.
1. Is he still in a coma? in ICU?
2. Is he talking, seeing, hearing etc?
3. Is he on life support machines?
I am very grateful to Dr. Francis Manda, Neurologist for the sentiments about our president’s status. It is important that the doctors attending to the president to give the detailed information on the kind of stroke and his current condition. We don’t second hand information which is destorted and always telling that his condition is stable. It is high time the nation hears from the doctors attending to him. Otherwise send our own doctors so that they bring the actual status of our president.
a good leader is on who is honest and sincere,we love our president and our country thats the reason we want to be told the truth about our national parents health.so us a latest clip on the national Tv of our president.
Levy is still in a coma so there is nothing much that can be reported on someone who is in a coma because no one can tell if they can hear or see as sometimes they can open their eyes but that doesn’t mean they can see or are aware of the environment around them hence the word stable,however,the Vice President is not doing a good job,he should have let Mulongoti update the nation on a daily basis but what we should remember is that because Levy is in a coma,they will not stop using the word stable because that’s the word doctors all over the world use to describe someone who is in a condition that’s not changing or has little change in their condition.
OK Geek no sweat! was just asking!
That is a military hospital, therefore no one is just admitted like that without the government’s authority. It is not a private hospital.The french president might have been there to see Mwanawasa.
May you all Zambians please take note that the French have done a lot to Mr LP Mwanwasa (SC, Hon. Doctor) and our Zambia to this day. Thank you very much to the French President N. Sarkozy and his government for making it possible that our President, country and nation is STABLE to this day – 2 or so weeks after H.E. Mwanawasa fell sick.
To those who a speculating about the French President’s visit to ours in the Percy Military Hospital, please desist from making utterances that can impact on our economy. Please. May the President have a quick recovery and return to Zambia in good health.
Tinta thanx for the photos of the slanderer zaza
Thak you the French PEOPLE FOR GIVING MY PRESIDENT THE BEST CARE YOUR COUNTRY CAN OFFER.GOD BLESS.
This is disgusting. The least we can do is hope for the best and not the worst. We are all destined to die if that is what you people are saying. Let God decide. If his time has come let no one question it. We all will go from this earth. Een if you hate him he is still your Leader.
#43 You must know that it is not up to the government to discuss the details of LPM’s condition.The President though is a public figure he’s entitled to privacy and matters of his health are gornverned by such laws especially in developed countries.However the family of LPM is given full briefing daily by the doctors through what is known as family conferences.The family of LPM is well informed on the condition as for the public ,lets wait for the outcome-period.Frence is not like Zambia where fools like on this site thrive on roumours and malice.It’s time grow up and respect our president and his family.
Whether Sarkozy has been to see LPM,thats immaterial and a non issue,what we need is Govt to address questions and concerns of people like the learned Dr Manda,and #43. Sarkozy what? He aint God.And you Zeddy,#34,whoever told you that the French are paying the medical bills for Levy,and the lodging bills for his entire immediate family? What are you going to tell the nation when Magande reveals the total bill to the nation,walailetelela pakanwa apo iwe.
You are really living in the Stone Age,LEVY is President of the sovereign republic of Zambia,so he is a public figure No.1. When he falls ill,its the right of each and every citizen to know the state of their leader.Just keep quiet and mind your business there’abroad’.Remember what happened to Bush,Blair,Arafat,Mubarak,Sharon,Chirac,etc.Nurse,wakwisa?
Imwe ba overseas nurse 53, you’ve bolted 4rm Zed to go and change diapers in old peoples homes in london, now u think u so sharp?. Just shut your little trap, we are entitled to know Levy’s exact conditions otherwise the market speculators will strike and the kwacha will begin it’s freefall…don’t start with me now napapata
the health of a president is of great importance to the economy and stability of a nation just as a footballers health is impotant to the clubs like chealsea and man u so if “the nurse” youre in england am sure you know all there is to know on the metatarsals after wayne rooney got hes injuries, when tony blair got hes arrtymias and treatment uk was taught on all the causes and how they are treated by leading doctors in the country because it matters we are not wishing him bad but we need the truth.
y shud sakorzy even go there….wen the world knows thats hes dead already…………stable for how long

Power of death and life is in the tongue. Your mouth and mine can do both good and harm. Depending on the much-confessed word, such as spoken the most, prevails. I covered the issue about death in one of the seed supplements I do from time to time. I speak life in all situations for Levy.
Briefly, I want to cover Dr. Levy Patrick Mwanawasa rumours circulating world over like the ones below.
If these rumours turn out to be the prevailing force in the life of Levy, the following are possible as he is in the middle of his second term of office.

# 59 you have no sence yourself. You are childish
ZEDDY, where do you get that information of the French paying for Mwanwasa’s treatment? Or are you basing this on the word HOSPITALITY used by Mangande? Stop dreaming Levy is not a political asylum for the French to pay for him and yes the tax payer’s money is being used. Can you please for once say something with substance this is not a high school debating club. SHUT UP
#46, have you ever seen a person in coma? If one opens their eyes that would be regarded as a neurological sign as the muscles would be responding to nervous control/stimuli. There are a million ways to establish a patients response to stimuli. Sir, I have told you before and I am telling you again dont comment on matters you barely understand. Now you are the spokesperson for all the Doctors in the world over the use of the word STABLE? How many Doctors have you heard from so far for you to make such an inference?
# 68 Why are you getin such a HARD ON over that IS THE PRESIDFENT IN A COMA?????
Am with you # 69,The thing is,lots of pipo even wake up after ten years in a coma…so i don’t know why its an issue for a lot of you EISHHH….ITS IRRITATING WHY PEOPLE CAN NOT JUST ACCEPT CHANGE IN THEIR LIVES,,,,,CHANGE IS PART OF THIS LIFE ,,,SO PLEASE LETS ACCEPT AND MOVE ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i dnt want to hear you morons stress about the word, coma,stable,money and i dnt knw wat else is going on through your shallow minds,,,,continue your usual life styles especially for those that have financial matata,marital problms,sickness of the mind etc…..school…concentrate on your child and grand children and girlfriends..i get a feelin a lot u envy him..(presido)..eishhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
#69 COULD YOU ELUCIDATE A LITTLE BIT FURTHER. ABOUT COMA?????I DONT KNOW YOU TELL ME
One zambia one levy,it seems most people voted for levy,please just concentrate on your business this issue will come out soon as we have our ambassador there in france. There is a french saying which goes to say that when the baby is crying then the mother is not responding which means the soul of the mother is dead.
#53. You are foolish. A president is public property his decisions affect every Zambian. It is not like he is a CEO of a company. Why is there no official update of Doctors speaking as we saw when Arafat and and Sharon where hospitalised?. His family is not paying for the medical bills so don’t you think the people have a right to question? Koswe iwe!
You must be another UNIP product!!
late give him the much need time that is in hospital, he is the heard of this nation.
