Lula Leaves São Paulo Hospital After Routine Exams

Overview

• President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva traveled to São Paulo on Tuesday for a pre‑scheduled medical evaluation at Hospital Sírio‑Libanês.
• The checks were overseen by his regular physicians, cardiologist Roberto Kalil Filho and Drª Ana Helena Germoglio, and the hospital said all exams were within normal limits.
• He left the hospital the same night and the Presidency said he is expected to return to Brasília on Wednesday morning to resume his normal agenda.
• The visit follows earlier 2026 treatment to remove a basal‑cell carcinoma from his scalp and a course of preventive superficial radiotherapy, which had made post‑election follow‑ups routine.
• Officials and the medical team said the trip was not directly linked to his recent voice hoarseness and that his health will continue to be monitored ahead of planned international travel.
