The family has assembled a team of doctors and is seeking an urgent appointment for them to examine Mladić. Darko Mladić stated that his father has been in the detention center's infirmary for two years, which he claims is not an adequate medical facility.

Mladić je rekao da se njegov otac već dve godine nalazi u pritvorskoj ambulanti, za koju tvrdi da ne predstavlja adekvatnu bolničku ustanovu.

Consequently, the family has approached the Serbian government for help in acquiring medical records from the court secretariat. This is to enable the medical team to prepare for their examination. He expressed anticipation that the documentation regarding his father's health status would soon be provided by the Tribunal's health service in The Hague.

Zbog toga se porodica obratila Vladi Srbije sa zahtevom da pomogne u pribavljanju medicinske dokumentacije od Sekretarijata suda, kako bi lekarski tim mogao da se pripremi za pregled.

This situation highlights the ongoing concerns surrounding the well-being of high-profile war crime indictees and the complex legal and medical procedures involved. From a Serbian perspective, Mladić remains a significant, albeit controversial, figure, and any news regarding his health is closely followed, often viewed through a lens of national sentiment and historical interpretation.

On je dodao da očekuje da će dokumentacija o zdravstvenom stanju njegovog oca uskoro biti dostavljena od zdravstvene službe Tribunala u Hagu.
