Former US president Bill Clinton hospitalized with fever

Former US President Bill Clinton was admitted to the MedStar Georgetown University Hospital in Washington D.C. on Monday afternoon for "testing and observation,” after he developed a fever.

The ex-president has had a number of health issues since his time in office. Clinton underwent a quadruple bypass surgery in 2004 after experiencing continuous chest pains and returned to the hospital for a partially collapsed lung in 2005.

In 2010, he had stents implanted in his coronary artery but his health improved after he embraced a largely vegan diet. In 2021, the former president was hospitalized again for an infection which had spread to his bloodstream.
