President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva is reported to be in stable condition after undergoing a craniotomy to address a brain hemorrhage. The 79-year-old Brazilian leader was hospitalized in Brasília after experiencing severe headaches, which led to diagnostic imaging revealing the bleed. Medical experts determined that the intracranial hemorrhage was a result of a fall in the presidential residence last month. Lula was subsequently transferred to the esteemed Sírio-Libanês hospital in São Paulo for treatment.

Brazil's leader Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva successfully undergoes surgery following a brain bleed caused by a fall.
During the surgery, doctors removed a portion of his skull to alleviate pressure from the bleed, a procedure noted for its complexity. Fortunately, the operation concluded without any complications, and Lula is currently recovering in the intensive care unit, under close observation by medical staff. Lula's injury, which occurred on October 19, initially led to a cancellation of his planned summit trip to Russia. Despite the incident, he promptly returned to his official duties shortly thereafter. Lula has been at the helm of the Brazilian government since January 1, 2023, after winning a contentious election against Jair Bolsonaro.
With hopes for a swift recovery, the nation looks forward to Lula's return to full engagement in governance.
