INTERNATIONAL: Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro was hospitalized on Monday with an intestinal blockage and may need to undergo surgery in the latest complication from a 2018 stabbing.

President Bolsonaro has announced he started feeling unwell on Sunday afternoon after lunch and doctors have inserted a nasogastric tube. Vila Nova Star hospital has confirmed in a medical note that Bolsonaro has been admitted to the hospital in the early hours of Monday with an intestinal blockage.

Doctor Antonio Luiz de Vasconcellos Macedo says President Bolsonaro is in stable condition, undergoing treatment and will be re-evaluated. At the moment, there is no forecast for him being discharged.

Brazil’s chief executive has been hospitalised several times since he was stabbed during his presidential campaign in 2018. In July 2021, he was taken to Vila Nova Star due to an intestinal blockage after suffering from chronic hiccups.
