The seven-time German Formula 1 World Champion Michael Schumacher was cared for at the Georges Pompidou European Hospital in Paris on Monday afternoon for "treatment in the utmost secrecy," according to Le Parisien.
Contacted by AFP, Public Assistance - Hospitals of Paris (AP-HP) has "neither confirmed nor denied" information that "falls under medical secrecy".
No reaction could have been obtained from the entourage of the former 50-year-old pilot.
According to daily reports, Schumacher was welcomed into the Cardiovascular Surgery Continuous Monitoring Unit of Professor Philippe Menasché, "a pioneer in cell therapy for treating heart failure".
He "benefits from infusions of stem cells that are distributed in the body to obtain a systemic anti-inflammatory action, that is to say throughout the body," believes Le Parisien.
"The treatment should start this Tuesday morning, the patient to leave the hospital in principle Wednesday," said the newspaper, according to which the German "would have made at least two passages at the Georges Pompidou European Hospital, last spring . "
Schumacher has not been seen in public since he was injured in the head in a ski accident on December 29, 2013 in Méribel (Savoie). Virtually no information has since filtered about his state of health.
