Channel 4 News has exclusive video of Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe arriving at a private hospital in Singapore. Mr Mugabe's wife Grace and his bodyguard attempt to stop the cameraman filming.
The Gleneagles Hospital was named one of the world's top 10 hospitals for medical tourists in 2013. In a statement, Mugabe's spokesman George Charamba said the president was on a week-long "private visit" during which he will undergo "a routine eye check-up following a recent procedure on the same". There have long been reports though that Mugabe is suffering from cancer. There is a well-regarded cancer clinic at the hospital.
Earlier this month Presidential Affairs Minister Didymus Mutasa suggested that the Zimbabwean government could criminalise discussion of both Mugabe's health and the presidential succession. It is Mr Mugabe's second visit to Singapore for medical reasons this year.
