Dr. Elmer Huerta, a cancer specialist, told RPP "the pardon is groundless" in his opinion.
"His ailments are not life threatening. None of them can take his life at this time," said Huerta, describing the measure as more of a "political pardon" than a humanitarian one.
The pardon cites that Fujimori has been diagnosed with arrhythmia (irregular or rapid heart rate) with "a moderate risk" of thromboembolism, hypertension, depression and other afflictions.
Meanwhile, several lawmakers said the pardon points to a pact between Kuczynski and political factions led by Keiko Fujimori, a daughter of the ex-president and head of the opposition Popular Force (FP) party.
The FP strongly backed a motion in congress to impeach Kuczynski for corruption. Last week, the president survived the vote.
