President of Brazil Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva was discharged from hospital on Sunday after undergoing surgery to stop a brain bleed, WAM reports.
His medical team said the surgery went well and that he would be able to walk and hold meetings. They added at a news conference that international travel would be out of the question until further notice, but that he would be able to travel to the country’s capital, Brasilia, if all goes well.
The Brazilian president had suffered a fall at his home in October.
