President taken to the Vila Nova Star hospital after landing in Sao Paulo and is ‘doing well’ his office says. Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro has been taken to a hospital in Sao Paulo with abdominal pain that doctors found was caused by an intestinal blockage, and is facing potential surgery nine months out from elections. According to Brazil’s UOL news site, Bolsonaro’s doctor, Antonio Luiz Macedo, said the president would undergo several tests to examine his abdomen. “At the moment, there is no forecast for his release.” In July, Bolsonaro spent four days receiving treatment for an intestinal obstruction that gave him persistent hiccups – one of a series of medical problems since the knife attack.
