Bill Clinton has been hospitalized in Washington with a fever but is “doing fine,” his spokesman says

Former US President Bill Clinton was admitted to MedStar Georgetown University Hospital in Washington on Monday with a high fever.

Clinton’s deputy chief of staff, Angel Urena, said in a statement that the 78-year-old woman was admitted “this afternoon for testing and observation.”

“She is in good spirits and deeply appreciates the excellent care she is receiving.”

Clinton, a Democrat who served two terms from January 1993 to January 2001, spoke at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago this summer and campaigned ahead of the November election for Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris’ failed bid for the White House.

Clinton has had some health scares since leaving the White House.

History of health problems

In 2004, he underwent quadruple bypass surgery after experiencing prolonged chest pains and shortness of breath. Clinton returned to the hospital in 2005 for surgery on a partially collapsed lung and in 2010 had a pair of coronary artery stents inserted.

Clinton responded by adopting a vegan diet, which she reported lost weight and improved her health.

He was the former president in 2021 he spent six days in the hospital In California, while the pandemic was still nearing its peak, while being treated for an infection unrelated to COVID-19.

An aide to the former president said at the time that Clinton had a urinary tract infection that spread to her blood, but recovered and never went into septic shock, a potentially life-threatening condition. The aide said Clinton was in the hospital’s intensive care unit at the time, but was not being treated in the intensive care unit.
