Bolsonaro’s transfer to hospital for medical examinations authorized

Brasilia, Jan 7 (Prensa Latina) Justice Alexandre de Moraes of Brazil's Supreme Federal Court (STF) authorized the transfer of former President Jair Bolsonaro to the DF Star Hospital in Brasilia for medical examinations requested by his defense team.

This decision follows a request submitted after Bolsonaro suffered a fall on Tuesday while sleeping in his cell at the Federal Police (PF) headquarters.

According to the medical report, the former president suffered a fall from his bed, a mild traumatic brain injury, and contusions to his arms and feet.

The preliminary examination revealed that he was conscious and oriented, but with a superficial injury to his face and foot, in addition to a recent history of surgeries and medication use.

The defense team submitted a request from Dr. Brasil Ramos, who indicated the need for a cranial CT scan, an MRI, and an electroencephalogram.

Ramos emphasized that the tests must be performed in a specialized hospital setting to assess neurological risk and prevent complications.
