Bolsonaro still in hospital, doctors say ‘no need for surgery’

Al Jazeera  

The partially blocked intestine is the latest complication for the Brazilian president after he was stabbed in 2018. Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro will not need surgery, his doctors have said, a day after the far-right leader was rushed to hospital with a partially blocked intestine. “President Jair Messias Bolsonaro’s intestinal subocclusion has been eliminated, with no need for surgery,” the Vila Nova Star hospital in Sao Paulo said in a statement on Tuesday. Bolsonaro, 66, developed abdominal pain during a New Year’s beach holiday in the southern state of Santa Catarina and was rushed to the hospital early on Monday on the presidential jet. Doctors had diagnosed a partially blocked intestine and said on Monday he could need surgery, nine months before Brazil’s October elections.
