Jair Bolsonaro Hospitalized for Recurring Skin Infection and Intestinal Issues

Brazil's controversial former president seeks medical treatment in Sao Paulo amid ongoing legal and political challenges.

Jair Bolsonaro was admitted to a Sao Paulo hospital for treatment of an intestinal obstruction and erysipelas, a severe skin infection.
The former leader has faced repeated health issues since a stabbing incident during the 2018 presidential campaign.
Bolsonaro's eligibility for public office has been suspended until 2030 due to misuse of presidential power and electoral misinformation.
Legal troubles persist for Bolsonaro with ongoing investigations into an alleged coup attempt and fraud concerning COVID-19 vaccination records.
Despite health and legal problems, Bolsonaro remains a significant figure in Brazilian politics, recently campaigning in the Amazon region.
