Former President Bill Clinton Hospitalised for Fever

Former President Bill Clinton was admitted to MedStar Georgetown University Hospital in Washington on Monday after developing a fever.

He was hospitalised in the afternoon for testing and observation, according to a statement by Angel Urena, Clinton’s deputy chief of staff.

“He remains in good spirits and deeply appreciates the excellent care he is receiving,” Urena stated.

Clinton, a Democrat who served as president from January 1993 to January 2001, recently addressed the Democratic National Convention in Chicago and campaigned ahead of November’s election for the unsuccessful White House bid of Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris.

Since leaving office, Clinton has faced several health challenges. In 2004, he underwent quadruple bypass surgery following prolonged chest pains and shortness of breath. He returned to the hospital in 2005 for surgery on a partially collapsed lung and had a pair of stents implanted in a coronary artery in 2010.

Clinton responded to these health issues by adopting a largely vegan diet, resulting in significant weight loss and improved health. In 2021, he was hospitalised for six days in California for an infection unrelated to COVID-19, during the height of the pandemic.

At that time, an aide to the former president revealed that Clinton had a urological infection that had spread to his bloodstream. Although serious, Clinton was reported to be recovering well and did not go into septic shock. He was in an intensive care section of the hospital but did not require ICU care.
