Brazil’s President Bolsonaro should be released from hospital this Sunday – medical team

RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – Surgeon Antonio Luiz Macedo, responsible for operations on the abdomen of the president, said today that President Jair Bolsonaro should be released this Sunday (18).

According to him, there is still no way to predict the exact time when the president will be released. “The digestive system is already working,” the doctor said. Macedo said the president could resume his activities “calmly” from Monday (19).

In the morning, the president posted a video on a social network in which he walked through the Vila Nova Star Hospital hallways. Later, he participated live in the inauguration of a Caixa agency in Missão Velha, in Ceará.

On Wednesday, Bolsonaro was admitted to the Armed Forces Hospital in Brasilia in the morning, with a persistent crisis of hiccups and malaise. The examinations revealed the picture of intestinal obstruction.

By the decision of surgeon Antonio Luiz Macedo, responsible for all prior operations on the president’s abdomen, Bolsonaro was transferred to the Vila Nova Star Hospital in São Paulo, where he remains hospitalized today.
