According to a medical report 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 a planned trip to Kazan, Russia, where leaders from 32 countries gathered for the three-day BRICS summit.
