According to a medical [report](https://hospitalsiriolibanes.org.br/imprensa/boletim-medico/luiz-inacio-lula-da-silva/03-11-2024) released Sunday from Sirio Libanês hospital in Brasilia, medical tests show “stability compared with previous” exams. The president will be assessed one more time within a week, the report said.

After the accident in October, Lula [canceled](https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-10-20/lula-cancels-brics-trip-to-russia-after-suffering-head-injury) a planned trip to Kazan, Russia, where leaders from 32 countries gathered for the three-day BRICS summit.
