Former United States President Bill Clinton has been hospitalised after developing a fever, his office has announced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Clinton, 78, was admitted to MedStar Georgetown University Hospital in Washington, DC for testing and observation on Monday afternoon, Angel Urena, Clinton\u2019s deputy chief of staff, said in a statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHe remains in good spirits and deeply appreciates the excellent care he is receiving,\u201d Urena said in a post on X.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Urena did not elaborate on Clinton\u2019s condition, but NBC News quoted an anonymous source close to the former president saying the situation was \u201cnot urgent\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Clinton, who served as the 42nd US president from 1993 to 2001 under the Democratic Party banner, has faced a series of health issues over the years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The former president was hospitalised for five nights in 2021 after developing sepsis from a urological infection and underwent heart surgeries in 2004 and 2010.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Clinton has spoken publicly about making lifestyle changes in response to his health issues, including adopting a mostly vegan diet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Since leaving office with the highest approval rating of any US president since the end of World War II, Clinton has played a prominent role as a Democratic Party elder statesman and champion of various diplomatic and humanitarian causes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In August, Clinton addressed the Democratic National Convention in Chicago to rally support for US Vice President Kamala Harris in her unsuccessful bid for the White House.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
