Brazil's President Lula Released from Hospital After Emergency Brain Surgery
The 79-year-old leader is recovering at home after successful procedures to treat a brain hemorrhage caused by an October fall.
- President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva underwent emergency surgery last week to address a brain hemorrhage resulting from a fall in October at his official residence.
- Lula had two procedures: a craniotomy to relieve pressure and a follow-up operation to minimize future bleeding risks.
- Doctors confirmed his recovery has exceeded expectations, and he is stable, walking, eating, and speaking normally, though he must avoid physical exertion for the next 15 days.
- The president is working from his home in São Paulo until further medical evaluations on Thursday, with international travel restricted for the time being.
- Lula expressed gratitude for his recovery and reiterated his commitment to his duties, while addressing concerns about his health impacting his leadership.
