Brazil President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva will go through another medical procedure on Thursday following brain surgery earlier this week, Hospital Sirio-Libanes said in a statement as doubts swirl about his health.
Lula will be submitted to an embolization of the meningeal artery, the hospital said in a statement on Wednesday. The president’s doctor, Roberto Kalil, told reporters after the statement was released that the procedure is low-risk and intended to prevent future bleeding.
