Lula’s routine medical tests in São Paulo were normal

Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva had routine medical tests at Sírio-Libanês hospital in São Paulo on Tuesday.

The hospital said all results were within normal limits, and Lula left that evening.

The check-up had been scheduled in advance and was coordinated by doctors Roberto Kalil and Ana Helena Germoglio.

Earlier this year, Lula had a localized skin cancer removed from his scalp and completed treatment in June.

The latest tests were described as routine, with no abnormal results reported.

Lula remains under his doctors’ care and is continuing his usual work schedule, with a return to Brasília planned for Wednesday morning.
