Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, 79, underwent emergency surgery to drain a bleed on his brain after an MRI scan showed an intracranial hemorrhage. The surgery was successful and he is currently being monitored in the intensive care unit of a hospital in Sao Paulo. Earlier this year, Lula fell at home and was left with a cut on the back of his head, which may be related to his current condition. The president had to cancel his trip for the 2024 BRICS summit in Russia due to the earlier accident. A news conference will be held by doctors to provide further details about his condition. Brazilian Labor Minister Luiz Marinho publicly wished the president a swift and full recovery on social media.
