Bill Clinton needs hospital treatment. According to his chief of staff, the 78-year-old developed a fever. The ex-president is “still in good spirits”.

Bill Clinton was still involved in the election campaign two months ago, including appearing at events in support of Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris. But now concerns about the former US president are increasing. The 78-year-old is being treated in a hospital in the capital Washington.

Clinton came to Georgetown University Medical Center in the afternoon for examination and observation after he developed a fever, said the former president’s deputy chief of staff, Angel Ureña, on Platform X. Clinton is “still in good spirits” and appreciates ” “I love the excellent care he receives there.”

According to the US broadcaster MSNBC, which cites people close to Clinton, the situation is not acute. The former president is “awake and alert” and his condition is expected to improve soon. NBC also reported that it was not an emergency. The former head of state’s health had repeatedly been a cause for concern recently.

In 2021, Clinton had to stay in the hospital for five nights due to blood poisoning. In 2004, at the age of 58, he underwent quadruple bypass surgery after doctors diagnosed heart disease. Since then, Clinton, who is said to have a penchant for fatty foods, switched to a plant-based diet. In 2010 he had a stent inserted. Clinton’s health last made headlines in November 2022 after he contracted the coronavirus.

The Democrat served as the 42nd President of the United States from 1993 to 2001. Clinton’s presidency was overshadowed by the Lewinsky affair and subsequent impeachment proceedings, which he survived politically. His wife Hillary Clinton, who served as a senator and secretary of state, also ran for president in 2016 but was defeated by Republican Donald Trump.

Clinton campaigned hard for Kamala Harris before the presidential election in early November. Clinton appeared at various events. He also gave his obligatory speech at the Democratic Party Convention. Clinton has not missed this appointment since 1976. At the last speech, Clinton said: “I want to say this from the bottom of my heart, I have no idea how many more of these events I will be able to come to.”
