Rome, April 5 (EFE).- The leader of Forza Italia and three times Prime Minister of Italy, Silvio Berlusconi, is admitted under intensive care at the San Rafael hospital in Milan, from which he was already discharged on March 30 after spending three days hospitalized to undergo medical check-ups.
The 86-year-old former president is in a stable situation although he was admitted to the medical center with respiratory failure, according to public television Rai, which also reported that he has undergone a computed tomography (CT) scan and is awaiting other tests.
Berlusconi’s previous hospitalization
The leader of Forza Italia was already hospitalized in that Milanese hospital from Monday to Thursday for “medical checks”, according to sources close to the politician and businessman.
Berlusconi, leader of Italian politics in three different terms and whose formation is part of the ruling coalition led by the far-right Giorgia Meloni, has had a pacemaker implanted since 2006 and has health problems.
In 2020 he was admitted with coronavirus and bilateral pneumonia in San Rafael, although he was discharged a few days later, although since then he has repeatedly visited the hospital.
The last one, also at the San Rafael hospital, was in January 2022 due to a urinary tract infection.
