Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro was taken to a Sao Paulo hospital for tests early Monday after ex-periencing abdominal discomfort, the government said.
Bolsonaro is “doing well” and further informa-tion will be provided later in a medical bulletin, a government statement published by the Globo me-dia outlet said.
Bolsonaro returned to the financial capital dur-ing the night from a New Year break on the coast and was immediately taken to Hospital Vila Nova Star, according to Globo.
Globo quoted Bolsonaro’s doctor, Antônio Luiz Macedo, as saying Bolsonaro had stomach pains.
Macedo operated on Bolsonaro after he was stabbed at a political rally in 2018.
Globo said that Macedo was on holiday in the Bahamas and was waiting for a flight back to Brazil to see Bolsonaro, who reportedly had no public appearances scheduled on Monday.—Agencies
