Buenos Aires – The health of renowned chef Christian Petersen has once again become a subject of public concern, following reports of his hospitalization at the Hospital Alemán. However, his family has moved swiftly to clarify the situation, strongly refuting unsubstantiated rumors and emphasizing that Petersen voluntarily admitted himself for medical studies and ongoing care.
He was admitted voluntarily to undergo studies.
Hans, one of Petersen's sons, stated that his father entered the hospital willingly to undergo tests. He directly addressed and dismissed circulating versions suggesting a psychotic episode, labeling them as "defamation and false information." Hans clarified that there is no "stress condition" but rather "integral therapeutic observation" and necessary check-ups, particularly concerning his heart, following a previous incident and his adaptation to treatment.
We regret the defamation and false information, which distort the situation, disregarding that they are talking about the health of a person and their family.

He highlighted that Petersen has been in good health and gradually improving over the past four months, further debunking the claims of a psychotic break. Both Hans and Roberto stressed their regret over the spread of false information, particularly when it concerns a person's health and their family's well-being.
There is no stress condition. It is a comprehensive therapeutic observation. He is well, these are corresponding check-ups, especially for the heart, after his incident and its adaptation.

The statement indicated that the patient is clinically stable and responding well to treatment, with ongoing observation and therapeutic adjustments as needed.
