Dec 10, 2024, 01:02 PM
Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, 79, underwent emergency surgery early Tuesday to drain a subdural hematoma caused by a fall at his home in October. The procedure took place at the Sírio-Libanês Hospital in São Paulo after Lula experienced sudden, intense headaches. Doctors report that the president is awake, conversing normally, and stable in the intensive care unit with no lasting neurological effects. He is expected to remain under observation in the ICU for 48 hours.
