Senator Leila de Lima was brought to the Manila Doctor’s Hospital on Saturday, April 24, to have her checked for possible stroke.
The detained lawmaker has been granted a three-day emergency medical furlough by the Muntinlupa Regional Trial Court Branches 205 and 256 after her on-call physician said she may have had a transient ischemic attack, or mild stroke.

The furlough started at 10 a.m.
De Lima’s chief-of-staff, lawyer Fhilip Sawali, said that the senator was negative for novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19).

She was escorted by police from her detention facility at Camp Crame in Quezon City to the hospital after two Muntinlupa courts issued orders on April 23 allowing her to have a three-day medical furlough.
De Lima filed a very urgent motion for medical furlough on April 23 after she complained of bouts of headaches and persistent generalized weakness.
Her on-call physician, Dr. Meophilia G. Santos-Cao, examined her on April 21.
“The examination by Dr. Santos-Cao left an impression that Accused De Lima experienced a Transient Ischemic Attack (mild stroke), hence the urgent and extremely important need to rule out a cerebrovascular accident,” according to the motion. A cerebrovascular accident, or CVA, is another term for stroke.

Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, April 24) Sen. Leila de Lima on Saturday began her three-day medical furlough at the Manila Doctor s Hospital after having a suspected mild stroke.
Two Muntinlupa city courts earlier allowed De Lima, who is facing drug charges, to temporarily leave detention and have a medical examination after she had headaches and exhibited weakness, which her doctor said could be a mild stroke.
De Lima arrived at the hospital to undergo medical tests.
The opposition senator also tested negative for the coronavirus, her chief of staff Fhillip Sawali told reporters.
De Lima had a one-day medical furlough in February for her routine check-up. The 61-year-old senator has been detained since 2017 on drug-related charges, which she describes as trumped up. One of the three charges was dismissed.
