Brazil's Jair Bolsonaro Hospitalized To "Find Cause Of Chronic Hiccups"

Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro is expected to be under observation for between 24 and 48 hours, his office said.

Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro was hospitalized on Wednesday to identify the cause of chronic hiccups, the president's office said, in the latest health scare for the far-right leader who was stabbed in the gut on the campaign trail in 2018. Bolsonaro went to the military hospital in Brasilia and is expected to be under observation for between 24 and 48 hours, although not necessarily in hospital, the statement said. "He is feeling good and doing well," it said. Local media outlet Globo reported that Bolsonaro had been admitted for unspecified medical testing after feeling abdominal pains during the early hours of Wednesday.
