In 2004, Clinton underwent open-heart surgery after experiencing shortness of breath and chest pain. According to Politico, doctors found «extensive signs of heart disease» in the former president, with blockages in his arteries. Therefore, the medical team acted promptly. Clinton was 58 years old at the time of the operation.
In 2021, Clinton was hospitalized due to what his chief of staff called a «non-COVID infection» from which he recovered.
According to his deputy chief of staff, Clinton was hospitalized at MedStar Georgetown University Hospital in Washington on December 23, 2024, due to a fever spike. It was later confirmed that he had the flu. At that time, the Democrat was being treated with antibiotics in the hospital.
On December 23, 2024, Ureña updated Clinton’s supporters after his hospitalization, noting that he had been discharged.
«President Clinton was discharged earlier today after treatment for the flu», - wrote the chief of staff. «He and his family are deeply grateful for the exceptional care provided by the team at MedStar Georgetown University Hospital, and touched by the kind messages and well wishes he received. He sends warm wishes for a happy and healthy holiday season to all»
