Former Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff Hospitalized in China for Vestibular Neuritis

 


Former President of Brazil, Dilma Rousseff, has been hospitalized in Shanghai due to a medical condition known as vestibular neuritis, a condition that affects the nerve responsible for balance.


Rousseff, who currently serves as the president of the New Development Bank (NDB), was admitted to a hospital in Shanghai after experiencing symptoms linked to the inflammation of the vestibular nerve. Vestibular neuritis is a disorder that can cause dizziness, vertigo, nausea, and difficulties with balance, often resulting from a viral infection.

The 76-year-old former leader has been residing in China since assuming her role as the head of the NDB, also known as the BRICS Bank, in March 2023. The institution, headquartered in Shanghai, was established by Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa to finance infrastructure and sustainable development projects in emerging economies.

Officials from the NDB have yet to provide detailed information regarding Rousseff’s condition or the expected duration of her hospital stay. However, sources close to the matter indicate that she is receiving appropriate medical care and is in stable condition.

Rousseff, who served as Brazil’s president from 2011 to 2016, was the country’s first female head of state. Her presidency ended in August 2016 following an impeachment process related to allegations of fiscal mismanagement. Despite her removal from office, she remains an influential figure in Brazilian and international political circles, particularly in matters concerning economic development and global financial cooperation.

As news of her hospitalization spreads, political leaders and supporters in Brazil and abroad have expressed their well wishes for her swift recovery. Given her critical role in the NDB, observers are closely monitoring updates on her health and any potential implications for the bank’s leadership in the coming weeks.

Further details on Rousseff’s condition and recovery are expected as medical assessments continue.

Following his release from prison for the murder of his model girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp, Oscar Pistorius, the disgraced former Paralympian track star, has resurfaced after eight years.  Now 37 years old, Pistorius served nine years of a 13-year prison sentence for fatally shooting Steenkamp on Valentine's Day in 2013. During his trial, Pistorius claimed that he mistook Steenkamp for a burglar when he fired shots through a closed bathroom door in the middle of the night. However, prosecutors argued that he knew it was Steenkamp on the other side because they had just had an argument, and he witnessed her running into the bathroom and slamming the door. Recently, images captured by South African news site Netwerk24 show Pistorius with a wide grin on his face, but he appears a mere shadow of his former self. His hair has turned fully gray, and he is noticeably thinner compared to his previous weight gain during his time in prison. Since his release in January, Pistorius ...
