Former Uruguayan President Mujica Undergoes Surgery, says Newspaper

Montevideo, Sep 7 (Prensa Latina) Former Uruguayan President Jose Mujica underwent surgery at the Casmu Sanatorium on Saturday, after two days at hospital, local El Pais newspaper informed.

The newspaper quoted sources from the Movement of People’s Participation (MPP), which Mujica leads and which is part of the Broad Front (Frente Amplio-FA).

As reported, the ex-president underwent surgery to facilitate his feeding ability, which became complicated by the fibrosis resulting from the radiotherapy sessions he underwent to cure esophageal cancer.

His physician Raquel Pannone said on Friday the patient is slowly improving, after being hospitalized for the third time in recent days, due to his difficulties to eat and drink.
