Since his arrest, he is being held in a hospital, not because his health situation requires it, but because there we guarantee him specialized attention from highly qualified medical and health care personnel.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Alan Gross is in good physical condition and his health is normal and stable. His chronic conditions related to his age are under control, for which he receives medical treatment.
