Brazilian leader's health check brings good news after recent home accident

Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva got new medical tests yesterday at Sirio-Libanes Hospital in Brasilia: doctors say his health stays ok after a home-related accident

The Brazilian leader who got hurt about two weeks ago (when he fell at his residence and needed head stitches) can keep doing his regular work tasks; doctors will check him again next week. His personal physician Dr Roberto Kalil found a small brain-bleeding issue after the fall – which needed quick medical help

Due to this health-related situation Lula stays at the Presidential Palace doing his work but had to skip some big-deal meetings:

  • APEC leaders forum in Lima
  • UN climate summit COP29 in Azerbaijan

The medical teamʼs latest report points to a good recovery path‚ with no extra problems showing up in the new scans. The doctors say its fine for him to keep working‚ but they want to be extra-careful with his healing process
