After brain hemorrhage
Brazil’s President Lula operated on again
Brazil's head of state Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva has undergone a second operation following a brain haemorrhage. According to the doctors treating him, Lula is in his right mind and is speaking normally.
The 79-year-old had to undergo emergency surgery on Tuesday to stop bleeding in his brain. The operations are related to a domestic fall suffered by the president back in October.
On Thursday, a drain was removed from the head of state's skull. There were no complications, wrote the doctors at the Sirio Libanes Hospital in Sao Paulo.
The president's state of health had raised doubts as to whether he would run for re-election in 2026. However, Lula's spokesperson confirmed on Thursday that the 79-year-old will also stand in the next elections. He is expected to be discharged from hospital early next week and may then resume his presidential activities, as his personal doctor Roberto Kalil Filho told reporters. Lula is currently being represented by Vice President Geraldo Alckmin.
