Brazil’s President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva was discharged from hospital on Sunday after undergoing surgery to stop a brain bleed.
The 79-year-old president appeared at a press conference on Sunday morning.
His medical team said the surgery went well and that he would be able to walk and hold meetings as he rests in his home in the city of Sao Paolo until Thursday.
The leader’s doctors said 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.
Mr Lula had suffered a fall at his home in October.
