Buenos Aires, December 31 (NA) – The Alemán Hospital in Buenos Aires released a new medical report on Wednesday, December 31, regarding the health status of Christian Petersen.
From the health center, they reiterated their support for his family and emphasized that the information is provided in strict respect for medical confidentiality. The official update aims to bring peace of mind to colleagues, relatives, and followers of the chef, following the concern generated by the episode he suffered on December 12 during an expedition to Lanín Volcano in Junín de los Andes.
In that context, Petersen began to show marked physical exhaustion, which motivated the intervention of a guide and subsequent coordination of a rescue with park rangers in the area. Days before the holidays, they published a message highlighting the care received in the hospitals of Junín and San Martín de los Andes, emphasizing the professionalism with which a case that initially seemed less complex was handled.
Meanwhile, the family and medical team reiterated their gratitude for the respect and solidarity received, and reaffirmed their decision to continue protecting the privacy of the process. This stance was maintained in the latest communication from Hospital Alemán, which again stressed the importance of preserving privacy in a high public exposure context.
In parallel, the Petersen family expressed their gratitude to the health professionals who intervened at each stage of the process. According to the official statement, the renowned chef remains hospitalized at the institution under the permanent follow-up of a specialized team, and his condition remains stable.
As confirmed by the Argentine News Agency, the report, signed by the hospital's medical director, Dr. Norberto Mezzadri, details that Petersen remains "under the care of a multidisciplinary team" and that, at the time of the communication, his clinical condition is stable.
A first report issued on December 18 by the health authorities of Neuquén had informed that the patient's condition was reserved, requesting respect for his privacy. His brother, Roberto Petersen, also valued the medical commitment and the strength of the chef during the most delicate moments.
The figure of Sofía Zelaschi, Christian's wife, was mentioned by his inner circle as a key support during his hospitalization. The decision to transfer him was due to the complexity of his condition and the need to perform more complex studies and treatments, remaining stable throughout the operation.
From the beginning, information about his health was handled with caution and confidentiality. Buenos Aires, December 31 (NA) – The Alemán Hospital of Buenos Aires released this Wednesday, December 31, a new medical report on the health status of Christian Petersen.
It was also indicated that studies continue to be carried out as planned and following the usual protocols for this type of case. Colleagues, institutions, and media outlets like El Gourmet, where the Petersen brothers host a program, publicly expressed their support and confidence in the chef's recovery.
After receiving assistance at the scene, he was urgently transferred to the local hospital, where he was diagnosed with atrial fibrillation, a risky cardiac arrhythmia that required immediate attention. After remaining hospitalized in various health centers in the region, Petersen was transferred to Buenos Aires on December 26 via a medical aircraft, under constant monitoring and accompanied by medical staff.
The couple had shared various personal and professional projects before the episode, and their constant support was fundamental to getting through this period of uncertainty. The case generated numerous expressions of support in the gastronomic field and on social networks.
