Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro was hospitalized today (Monday) in a Sao Paulo hospital after experiencing stomach discomfort, a statement from the Brazilian government said in a statement.
Bolsonaro himself posted a photo on his Twitter account lying on the hospital bed, pointing a thumb over, and wrote that further tests would be done for a possible surgery. Bolsonaro, 66, has been experiencing a string of medical problems since being stabbed in the stomach following the 2018 election campaign.
