Jair Bolsonaro moves out of intensive care after doctors see signs his health is improving, according to his wife
SAO PAULO -- Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro was transferred to a semi-intensive care unit after his medical condition improved in the last 24 hours, his wife said Monday.
Michelle Bolsonaro said on Instagram that tests showed the 70-year-old right-wing politician had reduced inflammation since he was placed in the Brasilia hospital's intensive care unit on Friday for pneumonia.
“We remain confident he will overcome this moment too,” Michelle Bolsonaro said.
The hospital DF Star said on Sunday that Bolsonaro ’s kidney function had improved, although he was to stay in intensive care because of pneumonia. The hospital did not mention his transfer to a semi-intensive care unit.
Bolsonaro, who governed between 2019 and 2022, was taken to the hospital on Friday from the prison where he is serving a 27-year sentence for leading a coup attempt in 2023.
