Presidential hopeful Ciro Gomes to be discharged from hospital

Brazilian presidential candidate Ciro Gomes is likely to be discharged from hospital today (Sep. 26), if his condition continues good, said Sírio-Libanês Hospital, in São Paulo. No time has been estimated for his release.

Ciro was re-examined in the morning, after having veins in his prostrate cauterized Tuesday (25). He had shown spontaneous bleeding in his urine, linked to a benign growth in his prostrate.

Gomes’s staff reported that the candidate will need to undergo further evaluation in order to prevent similar incidents.
