Brazilian leader Lula hospitalized with inner ear ailment, then released

Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, 79, was diagnosed with labyrinthitis on Monday and received treatment at a hospital in Brasília, after which he went back to the official presidential residence to recuperate.
This diagnosis followed a fall in October 2024 in the bathroom of his presidential residence that caused a concussion, hemorrhage, stitches, and later required brain surgery.
Lula has faced multiple health issues including hypertension, past throat cancer treated in 2011, and a hip replacement in 2023, and had to cancel part of his schedule due to vertigo symptoms from labyrinthitis.
Hospital officials reported that Lula’s imaging and blood test results were normal, while a presidency insider revealed he reduced his engagements because of health-related discomfort.
After recovering, Lula returned to his schedule of meetings and international travel, but ongoing health issues have led to doubts about his ability to run for reelection in the upcoming vote next year.
