Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva is set to undergo a new procedure on Thursday as a follow-up to an unplanned surgery earlier this week for a brain bleed, according to doctors. The upcoming minimally invasive procedure is aimed at halting persistent bleeding on the surface of the brain. The 79-year-old leftist leader had undergone surgery on Tuesday after experiencing complications from a fall at home in October.
Doctors at the Sirio-Libanes hospital confirmed that Lula will undergo the second procedure on Thursday. In a statement, they mentioned that Lula had a good day on Wednesday, engaging in physiotherapy, walking, and receiving visits from family members. Currently, Lula remains in intensive care, with doctors stating that he is lucid and oriented, connected to a surgical drain while awaiting further routine tests.
