Yesterday at 05:37 PM
FORMER President Bill Clinton has been hospitalized after having a fever.
Clinton, 78, is undergoing medical tests at Georgetown University Medical Centre but is doing fine, his former deputy chief of staff has said.
It is understood the situation is “not an emergency”.
A spokesperson for Clinton wrote on social media: “President Clinton was admitted to Georgetown University Medical Center this afternoon for testing and observation after developing a fever.
“He remains in good spirits and deeply appreciates the excellent care he is receiving.”
In 2021, Clinton was rushed to the hospital after developing a urological infection that spread to his bloodstream.
The issue was reported to be serious at the time.
Three years after the former president left the White House in 2001 he underwent a four-hour quadruple bypass operation at the Columbia campus of New York Presbyterian Hospital.
He then had two stents implanted in his coronary artery in 2010.
The former Commander-in-Chief fell ill on October 12 when he was in California for a Clinton Foundation-related event, CNN medical correspondent Sanjay Gupta said after speaking with Clinton’s doctors and staff.
Earlier this year, the former president along with his wife Hillary Clinton threw full support behind Kamala Harris as the Democratic nominee.
