Brazil's Bolsonaro recovering but no forecast for leaving hospital
The Peninsula
SAO PAULO - Brazil President Jair Bolsonaro's health is "evolving in a satisfactory manner" but the right-wing leader, who was hospitalized this week after complications from a 2018 stabbing, does not have a timeline for leaving hospital, his doctors said on Thursday.
The president flew from the capital Brasilia to Sao Paulo on Wednesday to undergo tests, and possible emergency surgery, to unblock an obstructed intestine after days of hiccups. Bolsonaro, a former army captain, has been hospitalized several times in the wake of the near-fatal campaign trail stabbing, which perforated his intestine. He also caught COVID-19 last year.More Related News
