Brazil’s president will undergo hip surgery on Friday and will work from the presidential residence for three weeks, officials said.
Doctors will replace the top of Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva’s right femur with an implant to treat osteoarthritis.
After the intervention, the 77-year-old Brazilian head of state will be prevented from traveling for a period of up to six weeks. Lula has been suffering from hip pain since August 2022.
The intervention will take place in a hospital in Brasilia, where Lula is expected to remain until next Tuesday.
