Brazil's Lula Cleared for Return to Brasilia after Health Scare

Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva has been cleared to travel back to Brasilia after a successful CT scan revealed no remaining head hematoma. The 79-year-old leader had been hospitalized earlier this month, undergoing two surgeries to address the issue.

Brazil's President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva has been given the all-clear to return to Brasilia following a successful CT scan at Sao Paulo's Sirio-Libanes Hospital, according to his physician Dr. Roberto Kalil Filho.

The prominent leftist leader, aged 79, had faced a health scare earlier in the month, which required hospitalization and two critical surgeries to address a head hematoma.

Dr. Kalil Filho confirmed that Lula no longer shows traces of the hematoma that initially necessitated the medical procedures, ensuring his safe return to the Brazilian capital.
