Bill Clinton, who served as the 42nd President of the United States, remains one of the most recognizable figures in American politics.
Even after his presidency, his name has been tied to both controversies and global humanitarian work.
The 78-year-old was admitted to Georgetown University Hospital in Washington, D.C. monday, following concerns about his health, according to Digi24.
Quadruple Bypass Sugery
Clinton was hospitalized after developing a fever. His deputy chief of staff, Angel Urena, shared that Clinton’s spirits remain high and that he is grateful for the care he’s receiving.
Doctors are running tests, and he remains under observation. The exact cause of his fever has not been disclosed.
This isn’t Clinton’s first serious health scare. In 2021, he battled a urinary tract infection that escalated into sepsis, requiring hospitalization.
Before that, he underwent quadruple bypass surgery in 2004 and later an angioplasty in 2010 to address heart-related issues.
Clinton served two terms in office from 1993 to 2001.
His presidency was marked by economic prosperity, but it was also overshadowed by the Monica Lewinsky scandal, which led to his impeachment by the House of Representatives.
Despite the controversy, he was acquitted by the Senate and left office with strong approval ratings.
After leaving the White House, Clinton dedicated himself to humanitarian efforts. Through the Clinton Foundation, he focused on global health initiatives, climate change, and economic development.
However, in recent years, his public appearances have become less frequent as his wife, Hillary Clinton, has taken a more prominent political role. Hillary ran unsuccessfully for president in 2016, losing to Donald Trump.
For now, Clinton’s medical team continues to monitor his condition closely. While his hospitalization raises concerns, his team remains optimistic about his recovery. Further updates are expected as doctors gather more information.
