Former US President Bill Clinton Down With Fever, Hospitalised
Having faced with series of health challenges over the years, former US president, Bill Clinton, on Monday was admitted to an hospital in Washington after developing a fever.
Clinton’s deputy chief of staff Angel Urena disclosed health status on the X platform adding that Clinton “remains in good spirits.”
Urena wrote, “President Clinton was admitted to Georgetown University Medical Center this afternoon for testing and observation after developing a fever,”.
In October 2021, the former president was hospitalized for five nights due to a blood infection.
In 2004, at age 58, he underwent a quadruple bypass operation after doctors found signs of extensive heart disease. He had stents implanted in his coronary artery six years later.
The health scare motivated him to make lifestyle changes, including adopting a vegetarian diet, and he has since spoken publicly about his efforts.
Also in November 2022, he tested positive for Covid-19 but stated that his symptoms were “mild” and he was “grateful to be vaccinated and boosted.”
Clinton 78, led the United States for two presidential terms from 1993-2001, and is the second-youngest living US president, after 63-year-old Barack Obama.
His time in office was marred by scandals, he has enjoyed a second life in the two decades after his presidency, which has seen him venture into numerous diplomatic and humanitarian causes.
