Berlusconi hospitalized again

The 86-year-old leader, who was treated for a lung infection for 45 days between April 5 and May 19 at San Raffaele Hospital and was also diagnosed with chronic leukemia, was admitted again to the same hospital today.

Berlusconi’s doctors, Alberto Zangrillo and Fabio Ciceri, said in a statement to the press that “President Berlusconi has been hospitalized to undergo pre-arranged tests related to his haematological disease.” he used the phrase.

In media reports, it was claimed that Berlusconi is not in intensive care, but will spend the night in hospital.

Antonio Tajani, who is also deputy prime minister and foreign minister of Berlusconi’s Forza Italia party, said the leader’s hospitalization is part of a prescribed control process.

Sources from the League Party, one of the partners of the right-wing coalition headed by Giorgia Meloni, specified that the leader of the League, also Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Transport and Infrastructure, Matteo Salvini had a telephone call with Berlusconi, who is hospitalized, and that the two leaders were joking about soccer on the phone.

HAS BEEN IN THE HOSPITAL BEFORE

Berlusconi was admitted to the San Raffaele Hospital for the first time this year from March 28 to 30. The second hospitalization of the famous leader took much longer. Berlusconi, hospitalized on April 5 for cardiovascular problems and at the same time diagnosed here with chronic leukemia, was treated in the intensive care unit for 45 days until April 16 and released on May 19.

Berlusconi, who was the “longest-serving prime minister in total during the period 1994-2011” in Italy, contracted covid-19 in September 2020 and was able to recover after a worrying two-week treatment period.
