Former US President Jimmy Carter has the "full support" of his family after choosing to receive hospice care instead of more medical treatment.
The Carter Centre said in a statement: "After a series of short hospital stays, former U.S. President Jimmy Carter today decided to spend his remaining time at home with his family and receive hospice care instead of additional medical intervention.
"He has the full support of his family and his medical team. The Carter family asks for privacy during this time and is grateful for the concern shown by his many admirers."
