Libya’s prime minister, Abdulhamid Dbeibah, has undergone a “successful” treatment at a heart hospital, though his office did not disclose the nature of the ailment.
“I assure you that I am fine, by God’s grace,” Dbeibah said in a statement that was shared on social media overnight.
The treatment took place at a medical facility in the northwestern city of Misrata on an undisclosed date.
Dbeibah later travelled abroad for “additional medical checkups for reassurance”, saying the trip was tied to a prior external commitment.
Italian media had reported that he was admitted on Thursday to a leading cardiac facility in Milan for a general check-up.
“The matter is simply that I underwent some additional medical checkups for reassurance while I was abroad due to a prior external commitment,” he said.
“The results confirmed the success of the treatment I received in Libya, praise be to God.”
Dbeibah heads the UN-recognised government based in Tripoli, which controls western Libya. The country’s east is administered by a rival authority backed by military commander Khalifa Haftar.
Political division has persisted in Libya since the 2011 revolution that overthrew long-time leader Muammar Gaddafi.
