Former United States President Bill Clinton was discharged from MedStar Georgetown University Hospital on Tuesday after being treated for the flu, according to his deputy chief of staff, Angel Urena.
“President Clinton was discharged earlier today after being treated for the flu,” Urena posted on X, the social media platform. “He and his family are deeply grateful for the exceptional care provided by the team at MedStar Georgetown University Hospital and are touched by the kind messages and well wishes he received.”
The 78-year-old’s hospitalization is the latest in a series of health challenges. In October 2021, Clinton was hospitalized for five days due to a blood infection. Earlier in 2004, he underwent a quadruple bypass surgery after being diagnosed with heart disease, which led him to adopt significant lifestyle changes, including switching to a vegetarian diet. Since then, he has spoken publicly about his health journey and efforts to maintain a healthier lifestyle.
Bill Clinton, who served as the 42nd President of the United States from 1993 to 2001, remains active in diplomatic and humanitarian initiatives. He is the second-youngest living U.S. president, following 63-year-old Barack Obama.
Clinton’s health was last in the spotlight in November 2022 when he tested positive for Covid-19. Despite these challenges, he continues to engage in global affairs, leveraging his experience and influence to champion various causes.
Although his presidency was marked by a strong economy, his time in office was also overshadowed by personal scandals. Nevertheless, in the two decades since leaving the White House, Clinton has forged a significant legacy through his involvement in global diplomacy and humanitarian efforts.
