Return to Hospital Sírio Libanês is scheduled in the morning for medical evaluation; If the test results are satisfactory, the Head of State must return to Brasília on the same day
The president is scheduled to carry out a series of medical examinations this Thursday (19) at the Sírio-Libanês Hospital, in . According to sources in Brasília, the president is expected to arrive at the hospital around 8 am. The main objective of these exams is to assess Lula’s recovery after the surgery he recently underwent due to an intracranial hemorrhage. The medical report with the test results must be published late in the morning or early afternoon after the results.
Lula is currently at his residence in São Paulo and plans to return to Brasília today, if the tests show satisfactory results. He is already in contact with ministers and authorities for a meeting scheduled for Friday (20) in the federal capital. Since being discharged last Sunday, the president has been working from home, with restrictions on intense physical activity and long international trips. He has received daily medical visits, including the president’s doctor, Ana Helena Germoglio, and a professional from the Sírio-Libanês Hospital as well.
Lula’s surgery was necessary after an accident that occurred on October 19, when he slipped in the bathroom of the Palácio da Alvorada. The fall resulted in a head bleed, leading the president to be rushed to São Paulo, where he underwent drainage and a procedure to prevent further bleeding. The expectation is that, with the conclusion of today’s exams, Lula will be able to resume his normal activities in Brasília.
