Baku-APA. Algerian President Abdelaziz Bouteflika returned home on Thursday afternoon after a routine medical check-up at Val-de-Grace Hospital in Paris, APA reports quoting Xinhua news agency.
Bouteflika, 76, suffered a transient ischemic stroke attack last April.
The report said that the medical check-up conducted by doctors at the military hospital in Paris showed "significant improvement" in the health of the Algerian president.
On Tuesday, Algeria's Presidential Office announced that Bouteflika has been in Val-de-Grace Hospital in Paris since Monday for routine check-up.
"The president remains in the hospital until Friday, and his condition is surely and progressively improving," the president's office said.
Since he suffered the stroke last April, Bouteflika was sent to Val-de-Grace military hospital to get medical treatment, before being transferred on June 2 to the Institution des Invalides for convalescence and rehabilitation.
Algeria will hold presidential election in April, and Bouteflika has not yet said whether he will run for a fourth term, but the ruling parties have already announced him as their sole candidate.
