[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Chun-hee] Jair Bolsonaro, the President of Brazil, who was hospitalized due to abdominal pain, was discharged after just one day.

The Brazilian presidential office announced on the 29th (local time) that President Bolsonaro, who was admitted for examination the previous day, was discharged that morning. Fabio Faria, Brazil's Minister of Communications, explained on Twitter that President Bolsonaro was hospitalized due to discomfort in his abdomen and described his health condition after discharge as "very good." Bloomberg also reported that President Bolsonaro's hospitalization lasted less than 12 hours.

This is President Bolsonaro's second hospitalization this year. Earlier, he was urgently admitted in January due to symptoms of intestinal obstruction and discharged after three days.

President Bolsonaro has been receiving hospital treatment several times due to health issues since he was stabbed in the abdomen by an assailant during the September 2018 presidential campaign. He has undergone four surgeries so far, and in July last year, he was treated for hiccups that lasted more than ten days.
