Doctors say left-wing leader will remain under observation for a few days after surgery for intracranial haemorrhage. Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva is in “stable” condition after undergoing emergency surgery for an intracranial haemorrhage, his doctors have said. Lula, 79, was rushed overnight on Tuesday to the Hospital Sirio-Libanes in Sao Paulo after experiencing headaches that the president’s medical team found were related to a fall he suffered in October. Presidential spokesperson Paulo Pimenta also said in a radio interview that Lula would likely remain in the intensive care unit for another 48 hours, with contact limited to his doctors. In the meantime, Vice President Geraldo Alckmin will return to the capital Brasilia, his aide said, where he will assume Lula’s agenda, including a visit from Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico.
