Former US President Bill Clinton had to be admitted to a Washington hospital this Monday for hisundergo medical tests after “developing a fever,” his office said in a social media message.
Clinton, 78, was admitted to the Georgetown University Medical Center in the US capital, Angel Ureña, who served as Clinton’s deputy chief of staff, explained in his X account.
“The former president remains in good spirits and deeply appreciate the excellent service what you are receiving,” the message deepened.
In 2004, the former president underwent quadruple bypass heart surgery and in 2010 he underwent another surgical procedure related to his cardiovascular problems.
The former Democratic president was hospitalized in 2021 in California from an infection that spread to his bloodstream.
Clinton is one of four former United States presidents still alive, along with Donald Trump (2017-2021), Barack Obama (2009-2017), George W. Bush (2001-2009) and Jimmy Carter (1977-1981). That last one is, at 100 years old, the oldest president of American history.
